Feeling so alone
Though friends are here with me,
Burdens crushed upon my bones,
Trapped inside this self-made cell.

Where is the joy?
That I used to know,
Freely laughing and ready to show
What happiness can bring.

I try to take a breath
But it feels like I am in too deep,
Clinging to hope, that a smile awaits,
That I will soon start to feel free.

Yet I'm still here,
Alone even in company,
Trying to find my way,
Out of this lonesome sea.
