Where am I
What is my place
Do I even exist
Long ago
I new where I was
I new my place
I looked around
So many smiles
So much laughter
But slowly things turned
People began to leave
Others began to change
The people I could trust left me
Why
Without the ones I love who is left
To laugh with
To smile with
Where was I
The words droned out by love
Could now penetrate my soul
It wasn't my fault
It never was
But yet I took the fall
I was getting swallowed
By the void
I was going to run
Away from the torment
Away from the suffering
Just like they did
As you looked around
So many smiles
So much laughter
Could I really run
They began to make you suffer
the same as me
I wouldn't run
They began to torment you
You try to block your ears
Pretend you never herd a thing
I must stay
The pain it has become Unbearable
Agonizing
Horrendous
I cannot give in
You cry at night
When you think nobody can hear you
I will not give in
Slowly loosing touch of realty
I no longer even care
I cannot leave you alone
You pretend that it okay
And that everything's alright
You are never alone
I can hear you cry again
You see me at your door
We cannot be helped
I stop and look the other way
Lest you see my tears
We will save each other
There is a firefly
Alone it fly's in the darkness of night
Not a destination in mind
Not a home to return to
Not a single friend to talk to
But a smile still on its face
It lives without a guide
Not a single goal
Will it ever reach its destination
Probably not
But it needs not worry
It lives without judgment
Without a sense of prejudice
As it looks up at the moon
So insignificant a creature
It lit like a sun in the night sky
It was so small
You could see it for miles
People started to look
And see grace in its triumph
But the firefly
It did not care
For soon it will be day
And it will be a firefly
Just a firefly
It just kept on flying
With a smile on its face
We can keep on flying
