Maze

Not chosen
On the sidelines
Broken
Kicked out of the game
 
Standing outside the circle
Not good enough
Standing on my toes
Not tall enough to see over their heads
 
I should be an artist
Painted a smile on my face
And no one even noticed
I'm in so much pain
 
Piano plays
Through these earphones
Pacing in a maze  
From these sad songs
 
You ignored my message
Having to find the exit
On my own
 
I thought we had a connection
But the truth is
I'm alone  
 
Messed up
Making me want to stop
Bringing me back to where I was
Ashamed I haven't been positive
 
Pain is in the air
You're warm under my hair
I'm cold in space
floating past worlds
Drifting away
 
After the shaky voice in the end
I'm faced with silence
And wet eyelashes  
Again.
And again
