sad eyes are following
no one can stop them
no one can save me

why did they choose me?
why not someone else?
why do i have to bear
this burden of depression?


People are laughing
people are staring
laughing and staring at me

why am i the chosen one?
why do i have to put up with this?
cant i make it stop?
just stop it forever?

there is only one way
one way i know how
but with all these
sad eyes around
i will never know how.

i wrote this after a close friend of mine died in october last year.

Hey, I really appreciate your review of my poetry. Have you read its companion piece in the corner pub, My Own Lili Marlene.

She does mean a lot to me, and if I have to suffer so she is happy, my friendship is such that I will do so.

I too lost a buddy last year in a car accident. It was a stormy night and he wanted to drive from the university to visit his mother. Three hours later, the Catholic priest on the campus was telling me James was dead. So you really touched something in me.

Thanks for giving me hope once more...

Melissa:

a beautiful piece indeed
and I am sorry for your loss
I have had many myself and this:

People are laughing
people are staring
laughing and staring at me

I could definitely do without
thank you for sharing a bit of
your soul here
xxoo

This was good enough to give everyone else another read.

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

*sniff* it's...sad. (duuhh) i like it though...i feel like that a lot  

"People are laughing
people are staring
laughing and staring at me

why am i the chosen one?
why do i have to put up with this?
cant i make it stop?
just stop it forever?"

those are my exact thoughts sometimes...so...know how it feels. nice write. =)

A river of change is rushing over me, through me. Forfeit to the waters, forget the past, live in the present.
