You have lost friends.

But I lost so many more.

I lost so much more.

Five, eight, ten and I lost count.

You lost maybe two friends but I lost parents....

A home......

I lost laughter. I lost a confidant.

I lost so much more than you did.

I lost the the ability to breathe.

You lost two friends.

But I'm glared at, ignored, shunned.

I don't exist in their minds.

I lost trust, comfort, and my whole world.

I use to run to you, now I drag my body through the wind, pulling at my aching limbs that can't keep going.

YOU lost TWO people.

YOU choose your path.

I didn't choose mine.

Now I rage, now I can't control myself, now I'm lost.
