I was alone

Not physically, I had friends

I was mentally isolated

No one understood my strife.

 

I finally had the courage to talk

To write my emotions through a character

I gave them my struggles and woes

I felt so much better

 

I lived through the adventures

Through the fights and conflicts

I lived for the adrenaline of battle

And the releif of victory

 

I cried over death and loss

I laughed with friends in my head

I smiled nostalgically with them

Remembering old conquest

 

Never had I felt so at home

I had a family to go to

Friends to be my own

I had a life worth living

 

But when it was all said and done

I put down my pen

I looked around

Nothing had changed

 

Everything was stilll grey

Everyone was still grey

Everyplace was still grey

And I was alone
