Legs hugged to my chest 
head resting on my knees 
I sit alone in the cold 
trying not to freeze

I don't want conversation 
just some time being alone 
thinking of things 
and missing my home

It's scared being lonely 
when you've got no one to love 
doubting if heaven or even hell 
exists above

Trying to think 
of all the things gone wrong 
were they sent to test me 
to see if I am strong?
