Lost, Empty

October 3, 2013

Everyone, Everything,

Everybody, Ignoring

They tell me that it's just because I'm new.

They tell me that it's just because no one knew.

They tell me that it's just because... I'm who?

 

No one, Nothing

Nobody, Caring

I'm know it's different because I've been there.

I'm know it's different because everyone knew.

I'm know it's different because... I AM who.

 

Someone, Something

Somebody, Crying

Alone in the world because I'm different.

Alone in the world because I'm foreign.

Alone in the world because I'm who?

 

Who am I to them?

Who am I to me?

Who am I to the world?

Why am I different?

Why am I a stranger?

Why am I weird?

 

Am I not but a human like everyone around?

Does my existence mean nothing to anyone here?

Isn't there somebody I can lean on to?

 

Everything seems so dark and empty.

Nobody seems to be helping and willing.

Crying, I stay alone and away from anything.

 

Where is everybody, does anybody cares?

Why isn't this world more caring, at least to one?

How can they, to someone, just ignore?

 

Ignoring seems to be this world light.

No one seems to be any kinder than the other.

Something seems to be wrong.

 

I know not what to do anymore.

This world is terrifying, but I must move on.

I know that this is not the world that I know.

To find the light that I have lost is my goal.

Right the wrong, change the life I know.

I will reform this darkness to my hope.

 

The world is not ignoring.

Someone out there must be caring.

I need not to be crying ,

For I know that out there is the one for me, smiling...
