(Originally written in teen years ’95-01)

I lay in bed staring up at the ceiling

Boredom overcomes me

I have an awful feeling

Beams of sunlight dance in the window

But somehow I’m not phased

This loneliness I’m feeling

Has lasted many days

Having no one to share my joy

Having no one to share my pain

This loneliness I’m feeling

Is driving me insane

Lacking a lover

Lacking a friend

This loneliness I’m feeling

Please tell me it will end

Day turns into night

I still lay here on this bed

Although I am alive

To the outside world I’m dead

The darkness that surrounds me

Seems to trap me here

And this loneliness I’m feeling

Is here to stay, I fear
