Hello.

I felt alone and unaccepted

I felt as though the world was spiraling-

spiraling too fast for me to keep up

I felt lost

as though at any given moment-

any moment i would fall

I would fall and although i stopped,

everything would continue around me

It would leave me in the dirt and dark

I would call out “goodbye”

only to be left alone and unaccepted.

 

Hello.

we met.

and I never felt better

for once the world had stopped

for once I was given the opportunity to catch up

I regained my foothold

as you made me smile and feel accepted

a feeling I had never before felt.

You understood my loneliness

You had overcome the same feeling of unacceptance

You were my role model

As I caught up I learned that I was not like the others-

no not even close

in fact i’d never be like them.

Yet that was okay.

I would say “goodbye”

and know tomorrow I would see you again.

 

Hello.

We are friends

you mean the world to me

and I to you.

However our time is drawing to a close.

The days flow by like seconds

and I can feel myself overcoming with fatigue

I can see the world speeding past me

I feel you growing farther and farther away.

Our time draws to a close

as everyday passes for that sad day of summer

I know I will call out “goodbye”

and I will, again, feel alone and unaccepted.
