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
