I went to the park today, In hopes of another fun day; but I got quite the opposite:
I stepped outside, Felt the still air flow into my lungs, as I stooped down to grab my skateboard. I yanked that bad boy up, and glided down my rustic steps with ease. I jumped down them, with only two steps remaining to add a little flare to my everyday, unchanged routine. My feet landed simultaneously with a quiet thunderclap while I, virtually in the same movement, ran towards the park
Usually, When I come, I am greeted by the traditional wave, from someone, but today it did not happen. I jumped into the mix of things, full of witty, funny comments to say, but everything I said, fell on deaf ears. I was a little shocked, that I received no attention but I shrugged it off.
My next endeavor was to stand there, until one of my friends said hello to me, and that too did not succeed.
I was then hurt.
For I have never realized, How much peoples laughs and giggles, and agreements with me could make me fall so high, or climb so, so low. Also, I have never had someone forget my existence, Its like they just hung around me long enough for them to realize that they had other priorities. I was left, forgotten, abandoned in a crowd of my own people.
I was so confused.
“So I looked around and saw something,
Something which made me feel less of person.
What I saw was eight people,
Four girls and Four boys.
All broken off, into pairs.
Happy, and embraced in love.
I reveled in their beauty,
As one, full, unified functioning whole.
So I looked at their hands,
Locked together, In love.
Then I looked at my hands,
Which were empty, Scarred, and metaphorically bleeding poison.
They smelled of rotting, decaying flesh.
I tried to breathe,
But their atmospheres were acidic to my lungs.
I blinked, and looked up again, and I was alone.”
With that, I ran home, empty handed, to an empty house, with an empty heart and blogged about empty thoughts.
