It took darkness to prove how lonely I am
How family members would group by themselves and talk
Proving that my input can't mingle with theirs
It took darkness to prove how fake I am
How I will fake smile and try to join conversations I don't belong in
Proving my fakeness is the way I can mingle within the small group of six
It took darkness to prove how tired I am
How tired I am of the void that cannot be filled and the charade I put every day just to fit in
Proving that I am unfit for this place I am
I just hope that in this darkness there are people spending time with their families and not in solitude like me
