Those Nights When You Are Alone
When you are alone
In the darkness
Of your bedroom,
Locked away from all others
And no one can find you.
Those are the times
When you are
Darker,
When you are most unhappy
With your life
And with yourself.
Those nights
Behind closed doors
When you cry yourself to sleep
And no one seems to hear you,
You think
That maybe you are just being quiet
Or that no one really cares.
On those nights
Is when your mind wonders
To things you know nothing of
And things you cannot change.
As you lay by yourself
Wondering if you're good enough,
You may not know it,
But you are hurting yourself
More than anyone else
Ever can.
What you need
Is to not be alone,
I know that we can't
Always help it,
But what you need
Is a friend,
Or just someone to talk to.
You feel this in the night,
You feel your loneliness
Stronger than ever
And you realize
That all you want
Is someone to care.
