Twilight Amnesia

I knew his address, I knew his phone number, I even knew his favorite color. He had a family that loved him and helped him and a great home... but all of that now, just gone. A family now without a child and another empty seat in a classroom... that's how I would've thought of it back then. Now I understand the meaning of human life and the importance of all things that we take advantage of. No more meaningless darkness, and I somehow feel... enlightened, or maybe awakened from a coma that I never realized I was in. I can't understand how I wasted my life for nothing for so long. Now when I look back, I see nothing but darkness and hatred... so I try to keep looking forward. You never know what the future could hold. I am not accepted, but I accept that. Is it better to be a somebody and know everyone, or be a nobody and know yourself? Think about it.

This is dedicated to Lora, wherever you are. Also to my brother, who I hope doesn't have to go through what I did to know how to live life.
