Clarisse POV
I sit on my bunk writing in a notebook my dad gave me when I first came to camp. I use it to write my songs and feelings down so I'm grateful that it's enchanted not to show anything I don't want it to. A new song I'm working on has me stumped. I only write lyrics not the music itself so I get stuck easier without a beat in my head. I look down at the page to see what I have.
I feel all alone
Watching everyone talk on the phone
My heart aches to fit in
For my social life to begin
I feel like I'm caught in a time warp
Forced to relive the same routine
Day after day not seeming like a teen
Chorus:
I want to be alone
But at the same time I don't
So I lie and force the pain inside
And I hope someday
I won't be alone
I was stuck there. I thought about how my siblings act around me.
I shrink back and glare
As if saying 'Don't you dare'
They pretend they like me
Pretend they care
I can see they don't
So give in I won't
Silent tears are streaming down my face. My siblings look at me but they won't say anything. That would be pointing out a weakness in Cabin 5.
Alone is how I feel
Protecting my heart
With walls of steel
I've never cared
And I won't start now
'Cause as soon as I do
They've won
Chorus:
I want to be alone
But at the same time I don't
So I lie and force the pain inside
And I hope someday
I won't be alone
I want to be alone
But at the same time I don't
So I lie and force the pain inside
And I hope someday
I won't be alone
I want to be alone
But at the same time I don't
So I lie and force the pain inside
And I hope someday
I won't be alone
I don't want to be alone
I need to be alone
I'm coming undone
Please leave me alone
