Some days I feel oh so lonely in a crowded room.
Surround by people, yet all I feel is gloom.
I often wonder, where I fit in.
When there is no logical place for me to jump in.
It is as if I am but a spectator,
an unseen being off in the corner.
And well I learn many secrets, in this corner of mine.
It only reminds me of how lonely I am.
For I do not always know such things in confidence,
But am seen as either insignificant or too trusting.
Though neither is a terrible fate.
It does make me wonder of my mistake?
How do I come to be alone among friendly faces?
When all I wish is to be apart of some beautiful thing.
And yet the comfort others feel with me
Only serves to remind me that I am not a part of some eternal bond.
I am but one fish in such a vast sea.

I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I’m still just finding my voice and coming to believe that I can do this again. I like writing poetry and darker fiction. As well as some fan fictions!

My fingers inch closer to the keyboard, itching to obliterate a day's worth of work. It's some of my best writing I've done to date, but at what cost? The words seem to bleed, dripping onto my desk. For a millisecond, I'm sitting in front of a crime scene, looking at dead, begging eyes. Why? Why me?
