Left Behind

I'm always left confused
Lacking the answers to all my questions; exploring what beauty is in life yet
I'm always left behind

I'm always left searching
For something I don't know; something I can't find, something inexpressible but
I'm always left behind

I'm always left friendless with
No one there when life turns gray;
No one to run to when I'm far away for
I am always left behind

I'm always left alone
In the darkest pit of life
When I'd expect someone to be there, no one would show up and care, well,
I'm always left behind

It would be no surprise then
That when I'd be gone — away from sight,
I'd hear no voices — not even whispers
Because life has its own way of telling me
That whatever happens; no matter what happens,
I'm already left behind
