A.L.O.N.E.

youth CARES

In the crowded halls, I walk alone,

A shadow drifting, far from home.

Laughter echoes, but it feels so far,

I wear a smile, but it’s just a scar.

Faces pass by, but none seem to see,

The weight of a heart that longs to be free.

Whispers of friendship, like ghosts in the air,

I reach out my hand, but no one is there.

At night, I close my eyes, hoping for peace,

Dreaming of moments where the pain might cease.

Yet silence surrounds me, a heavy gray mist,

In a world full of colors, I feel like I’ve missed.

I’m lost in a crowd, yet all on my own,

A fragment of light, but never a home.

I search for a place where I can belong,

But the music of life feels like a forgotten song.

Each day feels the same, a loop with no end,

Yearning for someone, a kindred spirit, a friend.

But here in this silence, I silently plead,

For a spark in the darkness, for someone to heed.
