I sit by myself alone every day

I sit by myself alone every day

I sit by myself alone every day

I sit by myself alone every day

I sit by myself alone every day

I sit by myself alone every day

I sit by myself alone every day

They say that they admire my courage

I sit by myself alone every day

I sit by myself alone every day

I sit by myself

Alone

Every day.

They say that I am kind.

I sit by myself, alone every day.

I sit by myself alone every day.

I sit by myself alone every day.

They say to never change for anyone.

I sit by myself, alone, every day.

They say that I am strong.

I sit by myself alone every day.

They believe that I am fine.

They refuse to look behind the mask.

I sit by myself, alone, every day.

They will wonder why I do not look back.

They won’t understand why I keep going.

I sit by myself alone every day.

They say that I am beloved.

I sit by myself alone every day.

They say that they wish me great things.

I sit by myself, alone every day.

I am not alone, I say out loud, every day.

I don’t need them, I say out loud, every day.

When they believe that I am lonely,

I

Prove

Them

Wrong.
