Alone

How alone is alone
is it when your by yourself
or on your own

When a dream's enthusiasm
has somehow lost its tone,
could that be when alone
is truly alone?

When your eyes are red
and full of tears
when you try to speak
and no one hears

When patronism
is always near
when you despise the things
that you once held dear.

When everyone sees
but never asks
will you always be
behind this mask?
