• I float through the air,
    To forget my despair,
    For I feel no one cares,
    My life is but a dare.

    Through the shadows I’ve crept,
    No friendships to have kept,
    I just need to accept,
    I may not take another step.

    I’ve noticed I often dream,
    Of how I wish things seemed,
    That my smile will someday gleam,
    And my tears will never again stream.

    I put myself in a place,
    Not quite empty like space,
    I know not one face,
    But am accepted with grace.

    No need for you to pay,
    Just wish that for a day,
    You could feel like a stray,
    Then nothing more would you say.

    I wish you knew how it felt,
    The equivalent of being slapped with a belt,
    Or feeling your heart slowly melt,
    It’s all the same when alone you’ve dealt.

    Why does everyone turn their head,
    When it’s nothing I have said,
    Alone; I feel as though I’m dead,
    “To keep above water then harder I must tread.”
