waking up
feeling the warm sun shine on you through your window
hearing your parents say 'you have a big day today!' when you have absolutely nothing
crying in your pillow, wishing that pillow was someone, anyone to hold you close
to tell you that you are special, important, worth it
another day wishing that you had at least one friend to spend it with
day dreaming of living fantasies with unicorns, candy trees, rainbows, and happy endings
feeling like an alien, submerged in this new, strange world, not sure how to get out
thinking there was nothing to do, nowhere to go, nobody to see
it almost makes me cry just thinking about those days
so that is the one part that I skipped in my interview,
to make my audience still believe in the fantasy
of all famous people having perfect lives
