Projection

The white light across this man made lake gives me something to watch.
As the people i thought liked me enough to be around me have the time of their lives without. 
The loneliness brings me more comfort than being around a batch of judging eyes that their smiles don’t reach.
Their botched happiness is obvious to me.
As I’m about to graduate they all decide to scratch me to comfort themselves.
But I’m the one out of all of them who will truly end up happy with myself.
