Favorite Quote:
Laugh your heart out. Dance in the rain. Cherish the morning. Ignore the pain. Live, Laugh, Love. Forgive and Forget. Life&#039;s too short to be living with regrets.<br /> Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn&#039;t be done. Amelia Earhart

I’m drowning,

in a sea of faces

distorted with emotion.

Save for my own,

a hardened stone,

it reveals nothing of my shattered heart.



Why am I always wrong?

Where did everyone go?

What would they even do?

Those friends I thought I knew,

just turn a blind eye,

and walk away.



I’m on my own.

helplessly flailing

No one can understand.

No one offers a hand.

I’m left to fall,

Alone.
