Beautiful Day
The sun is out; the sky is gleaming with a new day
Vibrant colors fill my eyes and urge me to flee
New tears join the colors and blur my vision
A pale face peers out the open window
A deep purple mark decorates the pale face
Nobody will notice, nobody ever does
Cast aside and forgotten in the background
Only the haunting shadow in the corner with me
There is no comfort in an empty closet
Though I find myself here almost every day
Small spaces, tight places to crawl into
There is no light here, there is no judgment
Imagine what the other kids are doing
Maybe they are outside in this weather, laughing
What is laughter anymore, but a reminder of what could have been
If I had been born somewhere else, or not at all
My own voice echoes to itself in my fragile mind
I am weak, I am alone, I am not loved
It tells me I do not matter, nobody will care
It drives me to the edge, pushes me off, I fall alone
Alone forever
