I stand in the shadows
You can't see me
But I am there
Wishing
Longing
Hoping
That someday we can be together

I stand in the shadows
You the popular one
Me the freak
Or at least
That is how I am judged

I have few friends
Mostly I stand alone
You're always surrounded by people

I have tried many times
To show you how I feel
I have poured out my heart and soul
You just laugh like it was all a joke

I wrote you poems
Confessing my love
You took those poems
You gave them to the wastebasket

And yet
After all that
I still wish to be with you
Call me a loser if you want
You're right
I lost
I lost my heart
I gave it to you
Though you have rejected it
I don't want it back
You keep it

I stand in the shadows
Wishing you would love me
And show me the light

Let it snow outside
I'll stay here at the fireside
Wrapped in a blanket
Hot cocoa in hand

Setting up the Christmas tree
Lights
Ornaments
Tinsel
Prettiest tree around

Setting up the Christmas tree
Friends and family near
Food
Laughing
Music playing
Time for memories
Time for cheer

Setting up the Christmas trees
Fireplace aglow
Gathered  in the warmth inside
Watching the falling snow

Express Yourself
Let the world see
Who it is you truly be

Trees changing colors
Fireworks of nature

Sitting in a tree
Wasting the day away
Just me and my thoughts

Sitting in a tree
Wasting the day away
Feeling the cool breeze

Sunrise on a brand new day
Orange
Blue
Yellow
Purple
Red
All in beautiful array

Sunrise on a brand new day
New hopes
New challenges
To test me
To make me stronger
Physically
Mentally
Emotionally

Sunrise on a brand new day
Let's get started
