I Swear I’m Not Lonely

I swear I’m not lonely, I just feel alone.

I swear I’m not lonely, I have friends and family after all.

I swear I’m not lonely, I laugh with them all.

I swear I’m not lonely, everyone loves me.

I am lonely, I don’t just feel alone.

I am lonely, my friends are imaginary and my family hates me.

I am lonely, my laughs are fake.

I am lonely, their “love” for me is a facade.

I swear I’m not lonely, I just feel alone.

I swear I’m not lonely, trust the (fake) smile on my face!
