Tonight

i listen to him sing

and begin to think

why am i alone

do any others here

do this to themselves

how do i find them

the ones who are privy to my pain

without even knowing it

they will not open up and tell me

after all i wouldn’t tell them

unless i knew they did it too

so i won’t tell anyone

who doesn’t know already

and i won’t ever know

there are others like me

others who make the pain real

by slowly killing themselves

but i don’t think there are any here

i am not brave enough to ask

so i live in isolation
