Everyday Thoughts

Am I a good friend? Why can't I
Be?
Except
When I try
They ignore me
It's all I can feel
Loneliness 

I've asked before 
"Do you hate me?"
And they still give me
Bitter lies

Am I a good friend?
What did I do wrong?
Why can't I trust your answers?
Why won't you talk to me?

I'm alone in this empty world
I thought I was good enough 
for them
Maybe they will stop ignoring 
me when they see I've
Disappeared
Vanish from mind's eyes

Would they show emotion? 
Would they even glimpse at my 
shadow?

These were my thoughts
Before I made my choice
What happened to me? 
I broke gods grip upon me
A life with no judgement
No sickness
No disappointment 

Why can't everyone do this?
Escape the devils playground
Where he whispers in your ear
Makes you angry
Brings you to your inner being

But here, I can be alone. In this 
corner of space
Beautiful
Vast
Endless joy

I thought I was suppose to 
make everyone see me 
In a new vision 
Of my past

They never game me a chance
That's how cruel they
Can be
They saw me as an ignorant 
fool
They embarrassed me
Bullied me

But now I can laugh at them
As I see them below me
