i didn’t realize feeling alone was common
to be surrounded by people
smile on the face
life of the party
still feeling isolated
feeling completely alone
unseen
changing shape
to fit the mold
to be the person
each situation wanted me to be
constantly changing
hurting
breaking
for others
because i didn’t know
myself
didn’t know how to be
myself
i’d never been
myself
