Void

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

To some a void is cold, emotionless, uncaring

For others it is their safety, warmth, life

We are told not to judge a book by its cover

We dont know the truth till it is revealed

Equal, friend, family, the words held in light

Its what is craved and sought after in hope

Before retreating to the void which comforts

Put aside your judgement, seek the truth

No one is as they seem, casting masks

Do you see the feelings below the smiles

Those who feel out of place where they are

The people who only end up observing

It is those few that may know the void well

We seek what is needed but not given

So amongst the emptiness we create

Masks hide loneliness, smiles to hide pain

Some of us have noticed that when we speak

We get called liars, attention seekers, fakes

So we retreat from the others around us

Loners, we get called, outcasts, freaks

Give us a chance, we aren't that bad

Those who understand are often ripped away

We aren't given a choice, pushed to the side

Forced to make our peace with the void

I heard the words over and over, the insults

I just want a friend, I had to leave mine behind

I'm sick of standing to the side, alone again

Judged by what you assume of me not learn

I dont seek attention yet you label me as if I do

Fuck I just want a friend again, not all of this

Friendship built on the bricks of understanding

Shoved into the void in merely a second

I want to go back to my friends again

I miss being understood by people

Throwing aside all the happy illusions

But I won't get to have that anymore

I was forced to leave them behind

Told I had a choice but pushed into one

Why do I bother trying to start anew

Clearly I'm only wanted in the void

God it hurts to be shot down when trying

So I put up the illusion, build the walls again

I'll stop trying, I don't see the point to it now

To you I'm everything I'm not and more

Judged by the cover, what is assumed

Hiding the truth no one wants anyway

Finding the warmth and comfort, alone

Making home in a cold, emotionless void
