Small Trigger

Why is it so hard,
to move on to a new Chapter of my life?
Why do I get stuck in the past,
when my hopes are gone.

Well, I cant go on,
living like this.
Turning these pages,
they make no sense.

Why does history repeat?
Why cant things change?
I tried my best.
But wasn't good enough for her.

My life never changes.
People see the same thing.
No matter what smile I have on.
I'm never one of the group,
but always stand out.

So I sit here writing my pains.
Of loss of friends,
Loss of hope,
and loss of self.

I say to myself is my next step worth it?
Then I reply...
We'll see when I turn this page,
and pull this Small Trigger.

Bang...
