The black rose rises
Against a new born dawn
A Single teardrop splashes
From memories it’s drawn

Tired of this waking dream
The lost begin to stir
More tears begin to fall
As reality occurs

To know that we’re not wanted
To be judged by how we look
Forsaken and forgotten
We chose the road we took

Memories adrift around
A thousand of us here
They want us to come back
But we are nowhere near

Their sorrow they slowly realize
They alone have caused
Were it not for all their judgment
They would not become the lost

Silent screams pull at our backs
As we continue to walk
They scream and scream
But cannot be heard as we talk

To speak of life’s small mysteries
So early in the morn’
Soft and warm confused and sleepy
Before the sun is born

Life can be strange sometimes
When you don’t know what to do
But no matter how early the hour
Friends will talk you through.

One in a sea of millions has the power to change the world...

Liked that ending.  This poem is amazing.

the lost and the forgotten - but not to each other - i understand the feelings of being outside of things -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
