What's It Like?

I don't remember when I wrote this one either....I need to start putting dates on stuff ;-)

What's it Like?

What's it like being on the outside looking in?
What's it like being lost, needing a friend?
What's it like not saying goodbye?
Is it easier to deal with? Do you even cry?
What's it like being alone, In a world full of confusion, strife and the unknown?
How do you deal with a pain so deep, that it's buried in your innermost being?
How does it force it's way out?
What's it like being quiet for so long?
You only outlet has become the solitude you now call home
What's it like to open up?
Just to realize in all actuality you're not so tough and the pain you've buried so deep inside is on the surface, no longer can you hide
What's it like?
Don't tell me what you think I should do
Unless you've been in this situation too
Cause then you don't know what it's like
Remember you were on the outside looking in
Maybe the one I needed when I needed a friend
I don't need you to talk
Just lend me an ear
I know what it's like to live in fear
I know what it may look like on the outside looking in
Life seems so simple or so you think
I can no longer hide under "I'm okay"
Because I'm not no matter what I say
What's it like?
What's it like to know I am sad?
It is a feeling I wish I never had
Can you now comprehend?
Or are you still on the outside looking in?
What's it like?
