I sit alone,
I see all of the faces around me,
everyone's happy,
everyone's smiling,
everyone's laughing,
and loving life.
But I,
I sit alone,
and I wonder,
I wonder why.
Why do I sit alone?
Why isn't my face one of the happy ones,
the smiling ones,
the laughing ones.
I'm not sure,
I cant make an answer come to me,
I cant figure it out.
Though I want to,
I can only sit alone,
and wonder,
and wonder...
I see all of the faces around me,
everyone's happy,
everyone's smiling,
everyone's laughing,
and loving life,
But I,
I sit alone,
though somehow I know,
I know deep down,
that one day,
one day,
I too,
will be one of those faces.
