Alone...
I look but I see no one, I cry but no one hears

Afraid...
I reach for somebody...anybody, but there is no one

I turn, I run, screaming, looking

The darkness overtakes me
Where is everyone...anyone?

Black...
I scream louder, running

Afraid...
I stop

I tell myself it's best I should be alone
I yell for everyone to hear: "I don't need anyone!"

But no one hears

Alone
