on my own

everyone breezing by, don’t mind me I’m just a third wheel
try to be helpful and carry a smile, still I’m never asked how I truly feel
i can accomplish so much, this I know, and still slowly I fade
all of these emotions flooding like an ocean, so I try to wade
feeling so lonely, all my efforts for naught
i tried to be good, all the times I was needed, truly I fought
telling myself this composure I must maintain
giving up on everything, I really must refrain
have to lock these feelings away, for I am here to stay
but this dark-sided lonesome is getting harder to keep at bay.
