Let the hair fall over your face Don’t speak, they won’t reply It feels like you’ve been replaced Try and let the days pass by If you were to fall they wouldn’t see You miss how they used to care It’s not the way it used to be A simple smile by now is rare And in your head there’s only black So tired of make believe If you smile, they won’t smile back Why don’t you just leave? You’ll never be the way they are Their level is just too hard Just try and reach that social bar And keep your feelings jarred

In The Absence of Light
Let the hair fall over your face Don’t speak, they won’t reply It feels like you’ve been replaced Try and let the days pass by If you were to fall they wouldn’t see You miss how they used to care It’s not the way it used to be A simple smile by now is rare And in your head there’s only black So tired of make believe If you smile, they won’t smile back Why don’t you just leave? You’ll never be the way they are Their level is just too hard Just try and reach that social bar And keep your feelings jarred
on feeling alone in crowds and out of place among friends. written when i was 15.
