Broken Souls

2

Imagine walking through the hallway and getting stares. Nothing thrown, thankfully. But just stares. As if you did something wrong. I never do anything wrong. I come to school, learn, and then I leave. And then I'm done. I just need to get through senior year, graduate, and then I'm done. I can move on from these idiots.

I put my headphones in and walk from the third floor to the first floor for my last class of the day- music. My favorite class. The kids in my class are the only people who don't pick on me. They just let me do me and they do them. It's nice. I can sing and not be judged. I think I'm a pretty decent singer. My mom says I am. I'm currently learning the guitar. There's just one song I'm dying to learn on the guitar. I know the lyrics like the back of my hand. "A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven

I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go

As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on

And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me

It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven

Misplaced trust in old friends
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God I do not rest at all

And New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl

And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me

It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my...

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Oh, oh"
I walk into the class singing to te song that means so much to me. So much that no one truly knows the meaning behind. I wrote this song. I wrote it a couple months back. I was thinking of the boy I love who I'll never be able to date let alone meet. This boy, he's loved by literally a million people, if not more. I don't mind. I made some friends through him. But of course they live all the way in London. Where I'm going to college, ironically. So I'm planning on meeting my friends there. When I get to London, I'll be a totally different person. Well, I'm at least hoping to start fresh. No one knows who I am here. I'll be free. No more bullying. No more name calling. No more of any of this.
