Reminder

Everything I see now is only temporary. I have to keep telling myself that. As I ride the waves in the hallways and watch everyone move to and with their cliques, I stand alone, and a lot of the time I feel like I'm cowering within myself; trying to mask the longing I have for a group that can make me feel welcome. But I know I don't need a group, and I don't need to feel welcome. Because as the people around me meld together into one, they become their own distraction, as one. They make the choice to breathe together and to move together and, potentially, to fall together. So as I stand alone, and strive alone, bleed alone and fight alone, I know that I will succeed alone, as well.
