I Am Alone.

I am alone.
I feel alone although everyone is watching.
I feel alone but I’m always surrounded.
My vines, my roots are pulling me down.
I am alone.
I know people don’t care that I’m here.
I’m just here; I don’t know why.
Everyone rests on me like I’m their spare shoulders.
I am alone.
People only notice me for themselves.
And only themselves.
I’m only here when people need me, not when I need them.
I am alone.
I’m alone, and I know it.
But it doesn’t sit right with me.
I feel alone, everyone figures that I can handle myself though I’m drowning in
Emotion.
I am alone.
So now I figure, I just am.
I am a lonely tree, I don't understand why I am me.
