Bliss

I always spent my days dreaming Locked away in my own small world rejected by the ones I love Shunned by everyone I learnt quickly to shield myself Locking myself away inside Protecting my mind from others Just to allow myself some peace I have never been charming I have never been social Alone with my thoughts forever The only kindness around Happiness did not exist In school I was the "loner" Different to the others In time I grew angry at how I was treated abused, abandoned My body just a shell Shut off from my mind I felt empty inside I had no saviour I saved myself Leaving everything To find my own place No one could judge me People moved on I grew bitter But I was free to be myself I'm alone My heart My mind Just me, myself bliss
