Holiday Season

An already dark day Made more gloomy by the rain They're all happily awaiting What drives me insane Tradition or not, It's a day off to be together To feel love & warmth Amidst the cold winter weather I have two sets of family, Two sets of friends Separate, but united in joy Whether real or pretend And here in my own little world Where I can watch from a distance I see them all happy with each other Subtly ignoring my existence Holiday, Vacation--whatever you call it-- The time when love is shown When everyone seems high on life That's when I most often see...that I am all alone
