Where Am I to Go?

I feel lost as I walk through the frantic metropolis

My surroundings swallowing me like a tiger grasps its prey

Suffocated by the loneliness

I seek refuge

The rain hitting me with a strong force reminding me I'm alive

No friends to cry on
No lover to hold on

I'm out on my own
Always wondering
Where am I to go?

Whispers

As I walk by the trenches
I hear whispers

Admiration from players
Dissection from haters

Heads turn
And gossip churns

I am the subject of bickering
Enjoyable snickering

Why do they spend their energy dissing me?
Unhappiness has to be the answer
Eating them away like an incurable cancer

My suggestion
Live life and let me be
If you comply
Your hatred, anger, and jealously will be set free
But if you cannot
Take a deep breath and count to three
And remember
It's all about me
You've bestowed that power upon me.
