Surrounded, Yet Alone
Surrounded, yet alone,
as I cower in fear I silently pray that nobody can see my tears. I look all around yet can't look them in the eye. Every time I do, I must suppress the urge to cry. Surrounded, yet alone I hide silently in the shame praying no one asks the reason that I came. I came because the pain was just too hard to take. I came because life itself had caused me to break. Surrounded, yet alone I have no one to care, No one to hold me, and with no one to share. If I could say anything, if only the words would come, I'd tell them that I'm hurting; I'd tell them where I'm from. Surrounded, yet alone I'm scared half to death to speak to these strangers or even let out a breath. As I go day to day, I begin to finally see This doesn't have to be my future; this doesn't have to be me! Surrounded, yet alone, I raise my head with pride. This isn't going to be easy, but I'll go along for the ride! |
