Through dark and light
Through danger and happiness
Who will stay?
The feeling of alone,
The torture of solitude
Nothing is forever.
Who will stay?
When tragedy darkens my horizon
When light flees from dark,
Who will stay?
Nobody stays.
Nothing is forever.
The feeling of alone,
The beauty of solitude
Nobody stays.
I am on my own.

I wrote this because I constantly feel like everybody is leaving me. My grandmother is dying and people pity me. I don't like being pitied, but a lot of people ignore me and that is worse.
