Beneath a black starless sky on the sidewalk I lie My hands under my head and my watch ticking constantly reminding me of each second I am wasting Go live, Melanie, Go live. I try desperately not to waste Time is so precious but life slips through My fingers reach out to The darkness hides My lonely pain-filled eyes brim with Tears demand, "Who will accept me?" Darkness beckons I reach out to grab the Acceptance is so important from certain people whose faces float before me. "Will you accept me?" My hand tries to hold on but closes on itself, emptiness in my hand, My heart breaks Open space will not even be My constant companion is only Myself and I go inside to be alone the way we'll always be when someone else is around.
