the haze of sleep stilled on my eyes
dreams whispering wishes and wants
but as water cools my face
reality crashes down
another day of pretending
worrying the facade will fall
clouds loom over my world
the sun only a fading memory of what was
nothing can break the nothingness i feel
the lonely teen angst
the shy look away
the brave speak thier mind
weird, nerd, ugly, fat
all i hear
wherever i go
does it ever end?
