Melanie D Poet I do not know?

I Stand

I stand alone amidst a crowd
Surrounded by their laughter,
The ever numbing sound of joy
Life’s “happily ever after”

I fear the day, they’re bound to come
To look me in the eyes
To tell me that these promises
Are nothing more than lies

But they never say that
They just tell me to wait
And as I sit here
I grow bitter with hate

There are times I want to sprint out
When I can’t take it anymore
But its too obvious, they’ll notice me
So I gradually move towards the door 

And every time I’m almost out
I can completely throw it all away
Some extraordinary thing happens
To make me want to stay

So I stick around
Strive a little longer
Wait with more patience
And work a little harder

I stand amidst a crowd
But I am not alone
I’m reminded of the joy and love
I had forgotten, but have always known
