You can be alone but not lonely
You can be lonely but not alone
Being both is not a fun place to be
I know because been there you see

There are days that the pain is deep
Wanting something that I can’t see
Wondering just what it would take
To rid this feeling when I’m awake

I can be in a crowd of people all day
But the feeling never goes away
Or I can be walking alone in the rain
My thoughts full of sorrow and pain

Either way at times life can be hard
The pain causing invisible scars
Others don’t see or able to understand
So I smile at them and pretend life is grand
