My regrets don’t leave my mind

My brain will always rewind

Remember how you felt after that one unacceptable move

I always did feel like I had something to prove

I was never like any other child 

None that I have seen

I never had that movie life

I never was Prom Queen

I didn’t even go to prom

I didn’t have many friends

I wanted to but I was just so weird

So sometimes I would pretend

An act is just so tiring

I can’t be something I’m not

So I said ‘fuck it’ and began living life

Because this is the only one I’ve got

I reach out to others who say they’re feeling lonely

And then they’ll leave me on seen

At first I felt rejected and upset

Then I realized there’s no reason to be mean

We’ll always go on our own paths

And sometimes they may cross

But every journey becomes lonely

Sometimes you may get lost 

Don’t be afraid to wander

Don’t be afraid of the dark

Feeling lonely is perfectly natural 

You have to fill your own heart

It won’t be this way forever

Time goes on and life does too

You have to put in some effort though

You have to be open to something new 

Share what you’re feeling

Don’t collect them in a tin

Your pain isn’t worthless 

It’s the terrible places you’ve been

We all need to work through what made us all effed up

Just remember life can be hard, don’t be so soft that you give up
