Alone by myself

Alone,
By myself.
With no one to talk to,
With no one to share my troubles with.

In a crowded room,
In a crowded group.
Always alone in the corner,
Always alone at the back.

With all of them in pairs
With all of them hand in hand.
With happiness written on their faces,
With joy emitting from them.

While I am here with no one,
While I am here without smiles.
My heart is full of emptiness,
My heart is full of coldness.

Can you help me?
Can you heal my heart?
Do you know how I feel?
Do you know the taste of being alone?

Dreamer

Am I a dreamer?

If I say one day I will be a winner
One day I will make it big
And my parents shall feel proud of me
That day I shall succeed
But still remain the same girl as I used to be
And the world shall see.

Nothing will change
Even if that will look so strange
The same economy class
The same public bus
Still the same walk, same knock
Who cares who shall talk!

Because anyway, that’s how my life shall be like
And my life shall still rock.

A Life

I open my eyes
But maybe its better they stay closed
For what misery today will bring
I just don’t know

Every day is like the one before
I find I’m more hurt and lost
Than ever before

I can’t remember a time
Where I was happy and smiling
It feels like forever
That inside I’ve been dying

It’s strange
But I’ve got use to it
Being this way
It’s part of my life now
Depressed everyday

I thrive on the sadness
That tears at my heart
I find some sort of comfort in it
This pain that rips me apart

I was once smiling
Once warm
And so care free
Now I look at myself
And say
“What has happened to me?”

What made me this way?
So cold and lost
Were the memories so bad
That I forced them to be forgot

How I can brake free?
And leave this behind
I’m tired of being this way all the time

I just want to be held close
But I know I will push everyone away
I’m too scared to let anyone in
Because I know no one will stay

How do you fix a soul
Which has pieces long gone
How do you fix a life?
That has gone so badly wrong

How do you save a guy?
Who can’t save himself?
How can you hear him
When he silently cries for help?

How do you save me?
When I’ve fallen so far
How can you heal these wounds
Which have turned to scars?

This is who I am
Every day and every night
sad isn’t it?
