Moments

You know those moments when you feel alone?
Your world swirls in front of you, but all you do is moan.
When your world goes down upon you,
and all things turn grey that were first yellow and blue.

You feel like going and hiding in a hole,
there's no one to bring you back to your soul.
You just don't know whom to trust,
you feel like a stranger on the Earth's crust.

You see people around you, chatting, talking.
But you, you just sit in a corner, crying.
Just want to stay alone and cry
To stop, you just wouldn't try.

You feel that you’re just not a part of this world anymore
You start getting cranky evermore.
No one knows what you’re going through
You feel like no one understands you.

Your friends, they laugh together, talk together.
What did you do to be abandoned altogether?
Is it that you exist?
Or that you breathe, is it?

What if one just cant talk about movies and guys?
What do you do? Torture her until she dies?
Dies inside, if not outside,
because that pain, she just cannot hide.

So these are the moments when you feel all alone
Your world swirls in front of you, but all you do is moan
Your world goes down upon you,
and all things turn grey that were first yellow and blue.
