i sink in the corner
feet dragging themselves
onto the floor
i watch as people pass by
laughing, talking
kissing, hugging
the sky is bright and blue
but the corner seems so dark and black
how do those people
have their smile plastered
on their faces?
how do they laugh
without fear of sadness
coming after them?
do they not feel
the heavy pain that crushes
their rib cage?
do they not fear the unknown
that lurks in the future?
are they not lonely?

because if they don't,
and they aren't,
i'd **** to be one of them.
