Lonely
i am lonely

it hurts to say,
cause i know it's not right
to say im lonely
when i have lots of friends,
and lots of people surrounding me

but i am lonely,
not because i have people surrounding me,
but because of the people that surround me

the people that surround me are nice,
but most of them don't care

they aren't there for me when i'm down,
they don't make me smile when i frown,
they don't listen to what i have to say
because all i am is just a nobody

that's okay, i can deal with that,
but where are the people that do care?

where are the people
that will stay by my side when i cry,
or that will listen to me talk
about my favorite things
without telling me to shut up
and quit ranting?

as much as it feels wrong to say,
i am lonely,
and all i can wonder is
why can't i have just one good friend,
or even a partner,
just one person that truly wants me,
someone that actually cares
about my existence?
