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?
