When you're in the shadow
you always feel so alone
You'll never be
another person's dream
I can't bear to look
to where I once was
but now I can see
the path that lies ahead
When you're in the shadow
you always feel so alone
being told to atone
something you can't let go
It's so dark there

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.
