Sounds of Despair
May 18, 2015
What's wrong with me?
I've been avoided since the age of five
They just let me be
Crying on the stairs, I just wanted to feel alive
You'll die alone, they said
I believed every word
Every night I would lay in my bed
Thinking deeply about what I heard
You're a freak
You'll never fit in
My friend told me no to listen, I'm unique
She made me grin
But now that I have him
I no longer need to worry
The future seems less dim
And not as blurry
