Feeling Lost And Alone

Where do you go when

You’re feeling lost and alone

Where do you go when you’re hurting

Who do you turn too

For many of us

We turn to the wrong places

The wrong people

We turn to drink

To drugs

Anywhere but to those who truly care about us

Because we’re afraid to let them

See the pain we hide

To let it all out

We’re afraid they’ll be disappointed or leave

When they see the true us

That we try to so desperately hide

We become so used

To the masks we wear just to get

Through the day that it becomes harder

And harder to take them off

It become big impossible to remember your true self

When you wear a mask all the time

The mask of someone full of confidence

Of someone who isn’t lonely and hurting inside

I turn to the people who cheer me on and can tell when

I’m wearing a mask

I turn to my God who’s full of love and hope

Where do you turn to?
