Past Life

by Boochie - Taurus

~Walking in the darkness, 
through the cold fall air...
Memories of yesterday,
have always been there.

~Sitting in the hidden woods,
your mouth inhaled the paint...
You're now about to drift away,
and sooner or later faint.

~Wondering if there's a better life,
one where you can be free...
All the names you've ever hears,
just once wanting to be called "me"

~Taking the hand of someone strange,
unknown by your peers...
After a while,
being with them becomes a circle of fears.

~You loose your strength with all your binds,
becoming a shadow in the corner...
Thoughts come to mind,
and you realize you're nothing but a loner.

~You smile and wave and pretend it's okay,
but you never could be sadder...
You're the only one not involved 
in the daily gossip chatter.

~You become all tough and say to them,
"you're words, they aren't a bother"...
You realize the unspeakable truth,
when you hear things from your mother.

~A year goes by and you play some games,
your life begins to finally change...
When meeting your new secret experiments,
you know you're not so strange.

~You've become a better person...
now you're just takin' it day by day!

Reason for writing:

    When I was younger I always had trouble making friends, but when I finally did they turned on me and I was an outcast. After 2 painful years, I finally realized that it was pointless trying to make those people happy, and to try to make myself happy instead. I met new people, made new friends, and I feel that I'm now a better person because of all that.
