"Alone"

The child guesses at behavior

 

Happiness is faked, in the face of danger

 

How will he survive at home?

 

No one knows the struggles he's against

 

The times he's all alone,

 

Are some of the worst he's had.

 

His thoughts fight with him

 

He's lost in his mind

 

Maybe oh maybe this boy,

 

Will be able to feel the feeling

 

That his friends know so well

 

True happiness is all he wants
