I watch from afar as my friends laugh together.
They're in light and I'm in the corner where light doesn't dare touch.
I feel as if I'm shifting more apart from them each day that passes,
except they're the ones floating away and my feet are attached to the ground.
I scream for them to hear me,
to not leave me.
I reach out but I can't grab hold to anything stable.
I'm drifting off.
Alone.

I scream for them to hear me,

I'm drifting off.
Alone.
