I don’t want to go back;
I’m not ready.

I don’t want to see the faces,
See the stress and pressure,
The frustration,
As if success will actually make a difference.

I don’t want to see the smiles,
See the jokes and the laughter,
The joy,
As if they’re really happy.

I don’t want to see the cries,
See the shock and suspicion,
See the betrayal,
As if life is no longer worth it.

I don’t want to go back;
I’m not ready.

The author's comments:
Sometimes it's tiring to go to school and see the fake emotion, see the things that I don't have, that I can't feel. Sometimes it hurts to the see drama and the friends crowding when all I feel is crap and there's no one there to make me feel better. Sometimes it's just too hard, and I'm just not quite ready to face that again.
