The drums pound in my head
trying to force me
to express my emotions
anger, sadness, envy
faster, faster
they resonate through my mind
forcing me to listen
to every word
my eyes begin to glisten
the words that have been spoken
have torn much more than my mind
I try to turn
to look away
I need to live
and know another day
I see her walk right past me
my eyes cast down
my face shows a smile
my mind, weighed with the saddest frown
I walk the other direction
I turn the other cheek
but I know, as one of many
how my emotions leak
I sit, alone
in the darkness of my mind
wishing for a friend
someone to show
they love me
some one that is willing
to stay for eternity.
