Ghost
Walking through the hallways
I can remember each and every single day
All of them starting and ending the same
I can remember all the words I used to say
Sitting at this desk
Writing a bunch of useless tests
Thinking I'm such a mess
Walking out to try enjoy recess
Sitting alone on a bench
"Friends" Surrounding me
Looking into the distance
Just wishing this would end
Everyday was the same
I secluded myself
Shying away from the conversation
All of them were fake
They entertained thoughts of the future
While I thought of how I was going to survive
They were reaching for the sky
While I was digging out the dirt
I heard of a party
One of my "close friends" was the host
I thought we were mates
I guess I was just a ghost
I sat at the bench and watched as everyone got temporarily hitched
I sat there alone just wishing my heart would be restitched
I watched as all of them moved on
While I sat there listening to my sad songs
I left to find a new perspective
Only to find out the world was deceptive
I sat under a tree
Surrounded by nothing but fallen leaves
No matter where I went it was only me
The only one keeping myself alive
The only one who was keeping me afloat
The only one who was constantly scooping
Buckets and Buckets of water out of my boat
The only person I could rely on was myself
Even if my mental state was pointing south
There's no more need for them
There's no need to play pretend
The path might be lonely
But it's better than having fake "homies"
