I am quiet and pale
I wonder who I am
I hear turtles shriek
I see clouds falling
I want love
I am quiet and pale

I pretend I’m happy
I feel the rain coming
I touch my heart strings as I rearrange them
I worry I will remain a loner forever
I cry for my pain
I am quiet and pale

I understand the strife
I say I will be saved
I dream I will become sane
I try to be “normal”
I hope I will see tomorrow
I am quiet and pale

This was an assignment for English, but I kind of made it personal. This is my very first piece. I am posting to see if my mindless rambling means anything to anyone else.
