My life
(Misery, Sacrifice, Loneliness)

Walking home from school.
Massive dark clouds hang low over my head,
It's pouring.
The rain drops drip down my face,
Masking my tears.
The rosy pink colour of my cheeks looks as if it's from the cold,
Not my crying.
I push myself to go home,
Not to fall down into the muddy snow,
Not to get drenched by a passing car,
Not to die.

I think about what happened.
How my life came to an end,
For a friends happiness.
He was mine, but now he's hers.
What choices I make to be a friend.
To give up the person I need, for someone who just wants him more.
A need, for a want.
I've opened the cage of the bird that once was mine.
It flew right into the arms of another.
I feel empty, dark, inane.

Now I walk home, in the quite solitude,
All alone…
Thinking why I did this to cause me such pain,
All alone…
The rain does not stop.
Neither do my tears.
Until I reach my door,
Where I know people are inside,
Waiting to ask me how my day was.
I must play a role for them, to make them happy.
I am not happy.
I am alone…
I was once one part of a couple,
Dancing together at a party.
Now, I'm standing against the wall,
Looking at the girl who took my place.
I am not happy.
I am alone….
