LONELINESS WITHIN A GROUP OF PEOPLE

What can I say?
Was a terrible feeling that I felt today
I was in a group with many people around
None I felt was a friend to be found
 

I felt that I couldn’t get up and walk away
And about my inner feelings I couldn’t say
I wanted to tell them but they wouldn’t understand
I needed someone who knew me close to hand
 
The more I sat there the loneliness grew
Why it was happening I hadn’t got a clue
It was an awful emotion for me to feel
Being in the group for me was a big deal 
I decided to stay there though to the end
And with my feelings I made pretend
I pretended in the group that I was ok
I tried to act and speak in a normal way
I hoped by doing this I’d make a friend
and within myself I would be on the mend
Over time my group loneliness may disappear
and I’d feel more comfortable being in there
