Lonely

Lonely I feel as I walk down the bustling street

If you were there to hold my hands

is my feeling discreet

Lonely I feel as I go through those daily chores

If you were there to give a helping hand

in those tasks that look simple to the core

Lonely I feel as I try to mask those emotions heavy

If you were there to encode how I feel

to hold myself up in those moments edgy

Lonely I feel as I engage in that friendly banter

If you were there to calm me down

when I fear I will flounder

Lonely I feel in midst of family and friends

You are one of them

still I feel anxious, with all of you can I blend?

Lonely I feel

It’s no fault of yours

Lonely I feel

Trying to embrace the world of yours

Lonely I feel

For I know I am different

Lonely I feel

As our worlds still don’t seem to be congruent
