Just There

By Maanya Johari

Livin' and dying at the same time Between the old me and new me I've lost the actual me Just trying like a mime

Giggling with the family Everything shatters Once I close the door Everything fades away from my brain Loneliness is by my side Taking lessons from bad days Storing memories from good days Turning my feelings off Everything turning out wrong It's my fault Why ? I can't respond Why was I even born ? The night goes on as I continue to wonder Where it all went wrong And how I'm here to ponder Just there, listening Learning and enduring Just there for better days Just there for a better way
