They never told me why...

Sadness has always been a part of me, hovering over my life like a shadow. That's why my eyes look moody and mysterious. Sadness knows all the places where I have walked, and it has found me lurking in countless corners. There are times when I feel happy, though. Life can be beautiful for sure, and I have found meaning in sharing it with someone. I wish there were more of these moments and that sadness would be a buddy I have almost forgotten. 

I was never the most popular or the most fun. I have a few friends for sure, but mostly I like being alone, brooding and staring at the sky. To this day, I still think that someone will speak to me from above. That a familiar voice will give me the answers I seek. So far, no one has spoken back, but I have not lost hope. If anything, this journey is about persistence. Against the odds and despite what I was led to believe. I will try to transcend, even if everyone else thinks I've gone insane. I've got nothing to lose. It's just life.
