Look... And Be Seen (I Smiled For The First Time)

I always was alone I disliked it at first, but it grew on me It has become my comfort place: To be alone - I am taken to the calm of it. I remember when I cared - looking out my window, I would see crowds - Friends: having fun: laughing… I remember wanting to be there I remember wanting to laugh - wanting to smile sometime. But that time never came, so I settled, settled for less. I remember, remember perfectly - Once they looked like me, They were not smiling - one was laying on the ground, drooling like a tired dog, another was bleeding. I saw them, and they looked like me - I smiled for the first time. Copyright © 2009 Leslie Alexis
