Is there a reason?

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping.

Everyone is fresh and happy, but for me its a dull morning.

It's a new month, a new week, a new start for everyone.

But I still feel like giving up.

I enter the school, everyone's looking for their friends. Teachers, students.

Why do I want to be alone? Why do I want to hide?

Eventually, my "friends" find me.

Why do I have to be happy? More importantly, 

Why be happy, for them?

I notice everything you say, but I'm not listening.

I notice everything you do, but on the inside, I'm blind.

Will the pain givers,

understand my pain?

All I'm thinking is,

Why was I chosen?
