Dragonfly
Here I lie alone and high
I'm floating like a dragonfly
Not here, not there, not anywhere
I feel the weight of all their stares
I call out but no one cares
I feel the calling of despair
I'm scares to the point of pulling hair
This is crap, and really not fair
I smile and put on a happy face
But no one wants this darkened place
I walk, I leave without a trace
So here I lie, awake and high
I'm floating like a dragonfly
