When I am alone

A poem about hiding misery

I sit still in my seat and keep my mouth shut

I look around, but I don't say a word

Some people come close, then the silence is cut

But tears form in my eyes and my vision is blurred

I will always say,"I prefer to be alone."

or "I'm shy", "I'm quiet", "I wanna go home"

But deep down inside I wish I could disappear

But I can't show them that so I smile ear to ear

As long as I'm with them, everything appears fine

But as the day comes to an end, I run out of time

Into the emptiness, my mind is thrown

This is only just what happens when I am alone
