Put it on my Tombstone

9| Mistake

***

It's been a few months

Since the start of high school

But during gym

I was drowning in the pool

*

Not drowning in water

Nor struggling for air

I was drowning in sorrow

Sorrow too heavy to bare

*

Of course the other kids

Were too blind to see

I didn't rely on them

To really care for me

*

I waved you over

I needed to talk

But you didn't see me

You continued to walk

*

For a moment I was

In complete disbelief

My thoughts were stolen

By an invisible thief

*

Then I tried to reason

I must have had it wrong

Surely you would return

I waited very long

*

I guess you were busy

I guess it was my mistake

So I smiled like I was fine

I wish you saw it was fake
