Solitude

Here in my solitude I shall remain, 

For outside these walls is too much pain, 

The pain I feel is still the same in here, 

But it's easier to conceal when others are near. 

I do have friends that I keep close by, 

but only a few has seen me cry. 

Very few knows how I feel inside

Happiness, Joy are feeling that have died. 

Here, in solitude I shall remain, 

Far away from things that bring me pain.

Drowning these emotions and hiding my fear,

but in all honesty, I've always wanted you near.
