I find myself sitting here
Surrounded by both family and friend.
I should be happy as can be.
I should be enjoying the sacred time
Surrounded by those who mean the most.
I should feel loved, should feel safe
I should be smiling, instead of crying inside.
Yet I cannot bring myself to be anything but lost.
In this crowded room, I feel so alone.
I feel as though I am suffocating,
As though someone has ripped out my lungs.
I have to get out, have to get away.
I have to find that happy place
Where I feel safe, secure, and loved.
I have to escape this horrible feeling.
I have to find a way to smile.
Yet here I sit still, here I still stay.
I am alone in a crowded room.
