Alone

I look back on my life

Remembering emotions that I've had

The one most common is the one I have right now

Loneliness

I feel alone

Both now and then

It is deep inside me

Soon it passes

Or does it?

I am not sure

But I do know this

When I go out into the world

I must remember to put on my smile

They must not know the feeling that lives inside

They will try to help

They can't

Most of them feel alone to

We will all gather together

We will feel this shared loneliness

But we won't let it show

We know we can't help it

Help each other

Even though sometimes we try

But it always comes back

It is always there

Somewhere deep inside it is lurking
