this world is so cold
it chills me to
the bone
the frightening realization
that i am always alone
so alone
my determination
allows me to stand
tall against this
cold, deceiving world
i forever wish
to never be left behind
my friends come and go
my family always
by my side
trust heals
while pain reveals
the lost look
that hides behind the mask
i show it everywhere
i go
but i only true ly am
at home when
i am finally never alone
in this cold, deceiving world
