This was my English homework a while ago, but I found it and I decided to share it.

I am a stranger, and an outsider that lurks in the shadows.

I wonder if everyone is oblivious to my existence, or if I’m simply ignored by all

I hear the chuckles of my peers as I’m so easily passed by

I see myself dead, with no one at my funeral

I want to show the world who I am and what I have to offer

I am a stranger, and an outsider that lurks in the shadows.

I pretend that I’m complete and that my life is perfectly normal

I feel as though I am slave, and everything I say and do is discarded

I touch the base of the mountain I have yet to climb and the rocks crumble beneath my feet

I worry that I will never amount to anything and my life will have no purpose

I cry out to the world to show my pain but no one lends a helping hand

I am a stranger, and an outsider that lurks in the shadows.

I understand that I have to take fate into my own hands to work at my goals

I say that everything happens for a reason

I dream of making a difference in the society we call home

I try to show my true colors, but they are erased but the insensitivity of others

I hope to became someone of envious status to prove what I stand for

I am a stranger, and an outsider that lurks in the shadows.

How does it come so easily to some but not to others?

Love is a game that I can never seem to win 

Love is a game that I don't even know how to begin. 

Does it start with the first kiss or maybe just the smile?

Will it last forever, or just a little while? 

If I tell you that I love you would you say it too

Are you wiling to walk down the isle and say ,"I do"?

Are we going too fast or should we take it slow?

Until we try, i guess we'll never know.

Stuff happens. Don't dwell on what could have been, think of what comes next!

Dont live in the time of yesterday 

It's time to grow up, go your own way

Live in this moment not that of then 

Think of what's next, not remember when

Why can you see what is right in front of you?

The clock ticks on

And I just sit here

These days fade on

And I seem to disappear

Slipping out of your mind

And into the dark abyss

Soon I’ll be buried too deep to find

And then I’ll be the person you miss

My thoughts about you:

The way you talk 

The way you act 

You've got me strung out 

That's a fact 

The way you listen 

The way you're there

When I'm with you 

I just don't care 

When we talk 

You have me in honesty 

Your words linger,

Through my mind tauntingly

Only to be erased 

By the sight of your face

I'll have you in my arms 

I'll put up with the chase
