How Are You? 'Fine'

Just a No One

I am surrounded by people,
They're everywhere.
I feel so alone,
But nobody else seems to care.
My friend, my only best friend,
Has no wish to see me again.
I tear, break, and burn inside,
Luckily no one has the will to hear me cry.
They look, but in disgust, they turn away.
I am wishing for that one heavenly day.
Every time that comes to mind,
Sometimes I whisper,"Why wait?"
My inner self tells me to stay,
Thinking that there will be a better day.
I run, run, run.....
But seem to get nowhere.
I see the bright light and the smiling faces,
They tell me to get there.
I talk back, but get no answer.
I want to get there, but there is something blocking my path.
My parents beg me to stay,
I would be happier to go to the smiling faces.
I just go through these miserable places.
People that do notice me,
Smirk, stare, and gossip about what they see.
"Go, leave, don't come back!" They'll shout.
I whisper back,"I've tried, but there's something I lack."
I turn and run back home,
Remembering the beautiful memory.
The memory, it brings me closer,
Closer to those with a life with no grief.
They yell,"Come play with us!" But I can't.
I hide my face with no glee,
Then it hits me.
They all think I'm just a nobody.
They say someone like me can't have fun.
Again, I'm just a no one.
