The Present.

I've become one of those kids forgotten and all,
One of those kids who just aren't in the hall.
The kid that got along with everyone,
But a kid that left and moved from everyone.
Alone I sit thinking of that life,
The life I loved and how I lived that life.
Now I sit alone all day and night,
Wasting away once was, my beautiful life.
