Not All Bad
Written Kelly Riley

I stand in the hall
In the midst of my peers
Or so it seems
The pain and the tears

Of being alone

At least on inside
Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

What do you think?
How do you fell?
Does this facade
Even feel real

This mask of the world
That we put on display
Minute after minute

Day after day

Of treating each other
With smiles and phrases
My heart now feels
Like a labyrinth of mazes

Just try to go on

I keep telling my mind
And live with the rest

The people
mankind.

But as I think of them
The whole and the few
It doesn't seem bad

My buddies
my crew

My friends
my family

My teachers and chrones
Each have feelings
All of their own

They feel bad too
From one time to other
But just as a family...
We help one another...

So I look down that hall
And see those just like me
They're human as well
It just takes time to see...
