You Can Be Alone

you know, you can be alone
in the middle of a room full of people
you can be far away from everyone
when surrounded by your family

that is a sad thing
the realization of which sends
you further down
makes you sadder and more withdrawn

you can be at a party with all your friends
and your closest family
and be miles away
isolated, alone and lonely

your hurt and hurting
your wounds are old and fresh
you ache from it all
and can get away from none of it

you can't seem to enjoy anything
ot any of the people around you
you are too far away from eceryone
even when amongst your family
