Difference is in all of us
Change happens in every person’s life
Even if we don’t want it
I don’t need a pill to make me numb
Even if the pain is hard to overcome
Trying is worth it in the end
I no longer need see the red and blue light come around the corner
To take me somewhere no one ever wants to be
I never will feel so cold and different again
Because I wanted missed school
Not just to be cool
Not to show I was having fun in a better place
Only to show I was out of breathe from sitting in one place
As I sit in a hospital bed
Looking at the ceiling with a thousand different thought going around in my head
ME. Why?
Why should I even start to try?
To stay away from feeling dry
Even though I just wanted to just sit and cry
Never to return
Gone and away far, far away
At least for today it is gone away
As I feel like my life is falling apart piece by piece
I know I will be able to put them back together Someday





Someday
I know I will be able to put them back together
As I feel like my life is falling apart piece by piece
At least for today it is gone away
Gone and away far, far away
Never to return
Even though I just wanted to just sit and cry
To stay away from feeling dry
Why should I even start to try?
ME. Why?
Looking up at the ceiling with thousand different thought going around in my head
As I sit in a hospital bed
Only to show I was out of breathe from sitting in one place
Not to show I was having fun in a better place
Not just to be cool
Because I wanted missed school
I never will feel so cold and different again
To take me somewhere no one ever wants to be
I no longer need see the red and blue light come around the corner
Trying is worth it in the end
Even if the pain is hard to overcome
I don’t need a pill to make me numb
Even if we don’t want it
Change happens in every person’s life

The author's comments:
I wrote this piece about after I found out I had to have heart surgery. I want people to read this a realize that they are not the only one who have a hard time with thing, thats how I live thought heart surgery. I also was switching schools so U was able to get thought those things in two years, even thought I just wanted to sit some where and just cry. I want to show anyone that id you try you will be happy in the end and that it is ok and better to be different.
