never felt so lonely before

i sat in a dark room surrounded by loud silence

my intrusive thoughts win every battle i’m in

with my back up against the wall

never felt so lonely before

i try to drown out my uneasiness with substitutions

nothing seems to do the trick

when the anxiety creeps in, i start to feel sick

never felt so lonely before

i search for a remedy for my broken soul

God please keep me close

in this horror called life

never felt so lonely before

i wish to find myself in my peace

connect to my trauma

become a healthier beautiful person

cause at the end of it all

i've never felt so lonely before

one day my brain will really be my safe space

i won't need to worry about what others think

a man will waltz my way

and i won't be so lonely as before
