ALONE WITH OTHERS
I wake up.
I stare at the ceiling.
I hear the others stirring around me.
I have to make my first decision of the day.
Do I get up and face them or do I stay where I am?
So, of course, I get up.
I go to face the others.
I have so many good friends.
I have such a big close family.
I am with them , yet still alone.
We smile and we exchange conversation.
The whole time I am with them, I feel separated by my own wall.
I can't let them in.
I can't let them know how I am feeling.
I can't dissappoint them.
I only let them see the person I want them to see.
Me with a smile.
Me with the positive attitude.
Me, the one who charges on.
Me, who is with the others, yet still so alone.
