Artificial Tears

I’m walking away and,
I’m never coming back,
No artificial tears can,
Change the cruel facts.
I know I don’t belong,
Nor am I even needed,
Everyone wants me gone,
I have quietly conceded.
The world doesn’t have,
Any desire for my type,
I was taught to laugh,
At problems in my life.
The past is too bitter,
To remind myself of it,
The future is littered,
With everything tragic.
I’m walking away with,
My dignity still intact,
I know I will never fit,
I am never coming back.
Artificial tears won’t,
Let me change my mind,
I’m at a loss for hope,
And at a loss for time.
I’m saying my goodbye,
To everyone I’ve met,
I’m not leaving to die,
Well, at least not yet.
Even if it possibly is,
What my future holds,
I do not want to live,
To see how it unfolds.
I’m walking away from,
Everything I’ve known,
All that I have become,
Is why I will die alone.
