You’re a freak.
You care when the others have long stopped.
You go on when everyone you know has turned back.
They tell you to move on.
They tell you to let go.
To forget.
But you can’t.
You think about it, you really do.
You try to imagine a life without caring.
Without getting hurt.
And you fail.
Because to live in apathy
Is to live with a stone heart that never moves.
To fill the void
Is to fill it with nothing at all
Because nothing fits.
So you stand up somewhere tall
Where everyone can see
And you refuse to let go
Because a lifetime of fighting
And hoping
And even losing
Is better than a lifetime
Of forgetting
Who you are.
A freak.
