Alone or lonely

Am I alone or lonely? I ask myself that every day On some days, I am truly alone Others I feel lonely Some say it's the same thing But there is a difference Isn't there? I can be alone and not feel lonely Yet I can feel lonely with people around me I feel the most lonely when I have friends Ironic, isn't it? I don't think they truly get me Maybe they just don't want to Who knows? On the other hand, I feel most alone when I have no friends That makes more sense logically And somehow, in those moments I don't feel lonely I like to think it's cause when I do have friends They never seem to truly understand me Not like how I understand myself Then again, I don't understand myself that well either So by that logic, I should always feel lonely I spiral, day after day Am I alone or lonely?
