Looking out from where I sit
I feel an emptiness deep inside
Sorrow is what I have known
Can you tell me why I'm forgetting it all?
My legs are broken
I can't walk anymore
This is so hard
I thought I would be happy
But through the years of pain I have become different
Never forget me please
I'm stuck in a world where there is no me
You are with the crowd or you are not
I wanted to live
I didn't want to fail
But these broken legs have collapsed
Outside my face you see no pain
But deep inside I'm dying
It's not to late to lift me up
These eyes have seen so much pain
Outside my face I am normal
There is nothing special about me
Inside there is nothing special either
But never forget that I was different
I had angst stitched into my soul
This is how it will end
With me sitting here in the cold
Looking at the clear blue sky
Never forget me
Never forget

The ending was lovely Dear. It's a very sad take on this photo, but a good write nonetheless. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.
