*I'm feeling like this, and can't wait for June when I can leave.*
I remember the day we met
We forged a strong bond I thought wouldn't bend
I took your friendship with me through my school years
And I really believed that what we had did transcend.
I bottled myself up, didn't say anything
I didn't feel confident telling you secrets
Because even though I loved hanging out with you,
I knew that your mouth was too big to keep it.
You told me your stories of yourself and your life
I listened with care constantly, and retained
But whenever I thought of something about me,
I seldom was able to say several names.
I started to hurt within my own mind
The pain infested every corner of my brain
My silent screams were disregarded
And the dark loneliness began to drive me insane.
You never took note of what was happening to me
You just seemed to think that my condition was fair
In reality, I wallowed inside of my head
You didn't think of me, or maybe didn't care.
No one else that was there tried to help me
They all thought I was full of cheer
Once in a while, you need to stop listening
And instead, you're gonna need someone to hear.
So without a goodbye, I stride for the door,
A glance seldom taken as I head for the light.
I remember what I went through, barely miss it at all,
I turn, don't look back, and walk straight out of sight.
