Sad
Imprisoned by choice
Alone by fate
Lost in the darkness of my own hate

I see people’s smile
And it makes me think
What a world this must be
Gaining satisfaction from smoke or drink

People laugh with each other
Though I know it’s not real
I single myself out
Because I know how they feel

You’re nothing, you’re small
They whisper and sneak
I’ll stay all alone
If it means I’m not weak

Why do I bother?
To have friends and feel good
They just leave me anyway
I’ll be left standing, like a good friend should
