Realizing

When I sat down on the cement I relized that eveyone around me

had their own little world, or their own things to do or talk about
The wind blows through my hair as I think these thoughts
Everyone has their own happiness....right?
If they do...wheres mine?
I feel so far away from people, and friends

So much to think of

So much to speak of

But who to talk to?

Just silence

and the night

Looking around, I realize the space between them and I

Realizing the silence between us

If only I could speak up

The voices in my head, always making me feel sad

The only friends I have are my demons in my head

These voices

Can't they understand?

These demons

Should I let them even have command?

Wish people could understand

The turmoil I have to withstand

To me

Nothing is much too had

If only

Someone would reach out to me

Then I wouldn't have to shout to be

Heard through these waves

Of noises that I can't even appreciate

Because these demons in my head like to play with me

I realize that I am the one to blame

What if they were to reach out to me?

Could I even tell when they are being nice to me?

Have I gone too far?

To think there's none to talk to me?

This realization

It was too hard to see
