Raindrops in the Snow
Where people come and go
Like raindrops in the snow
They stay for mere seconds
And leave, but another one beckons
And for a moment I grasp the illusion
Of belonging- but of course it's a delusion
Raindrops trickle through your fingers
And only emptiness lingers
And the someday isn't enough
But if I pretend nobody can call my bluff
Brief belonging is all I have
And though it can't stave
The loneliness constant
I may be despondent
But I can belong in my head
The thought drops my stomach like lead
Belonging I can borrow
But I cannot hold raindrops from the snow

I'm not homeschooled, I've only been for 2 years(8 grades apart), but I don't fit in and I don't have many irl friends.
i would suggest not reading a poem I wrote called let me tell you a story because if you will almost certainly explode and then you'll have to worry about what your parents think when they find you dead.
another real poem. wow its like a broke a dam and now reality is exploding from it.
i wanted to toy with 'where people come and go; like raindrops in the snow' because it has potential. it was from a trash poem that was written by accident when I wasn't fully conscious. but those lines had potential.
