Lonesome

Info

Lonesome


The sound of speaking tongues, all at once entered my ears

And not even a single person noticed all my falling tears

From feeling too much fear even after all these years

As it resulted in being lonely and lack of peers


I was never an introvert, I was reluctant

Easily annoyed by somebody's endless rant

I tried suppressing everything but I can't

And I became voiceless like a plant


Distracted by their own world and all too busy to even care

I shut my eyes and held back all the nightmares

For everything I've felt became too much to bear

Sweaty palms and out of breath, yet everyone is still unaware
