Alone At School
I meant to get through these 2 1/2 hours without crying,
but these tears just keep slipping from my eyes,
i look at a new picture of my best friend Jake,
it makes me smile seeing him -now healthy, and fully alive,
my heart is shaking in my chest, with a constant rattle i dont know,
i try so hard to hide the tears that escape, i pray that they wont show,
i swore as a child, id never let them see me cry,
even in my worst moments i didnt, when i felt so bad i just wanted to die,
and now im sitting in a class again, with tears slipping down my face,
all of these emotions, i just want so badly to erase,
i feel a sadness and a pain, that constricts too tight around my chest,
i feel an anger that makes me want so badly just to hurt them back,
I want to talk to Jake, even though he hurt me once too,
Because I know he can make me smile right now, while im all alone at school...
