Alone

Alone

Just another face in the crowd,
another social outcast.
Someone else to laugh about.
Just another good for nothing kid,
with nowhere to go in life.
Someone else’s soul to crush.
Just another slip up on the path of life,
another forgotten being.
Someone to pass by on your way.
Just another crying child,
dying of a disease they’ve never heard of.
Someone to ignore.
Just another strung-out teen,
high on so much more than life.
Someone else to hate and scorn.
Just another human on this earth,
born into this life to die.
Someone else to pretend doesn’t exist.
Just another person just like you,
hoping for some semblance of dignity.
Someone to remember in the darkness.
