When you’re alone
You’re not always lonely
But when you’re lonely you don’t have to be alone
The isolation creeps in and sets itself on you
The black spindly fingers land on your shoulders
Dragging you down
When you have nothing left
You let it come for you
You let it take you
What is there left to fight for?
When you have to have your own back, front, side
Who can blame you when you’re closed off?
Who can point a finger at your work and call it wreckage?
When you fight for you everyday
There is no one cheering you own
You are the only one encouraging yourself
And sometimes it’s hard
Sometimes it’s dare near impossible
But you keep on
You say nothing when they laugh and mock
You make no move when they ridicule and protest
You keep your head down and stay humble
Keep your thoughts private
Keep your progress to yourself
And when you make it
They all say the believed in you
But they will never see you
They will never see you for you
And as long as you know the truth
Nothing else matters
