A vast empty room, a sealed notebook
+
Sitting with my knees to my chest, I hug them tightly
+
Their laughter still lingers in my ear
+
I push it all away and open the window
+
The sound of rain echoes amidst the shimmering fog
+
Truly, this world could be so much more beautiful
+
I just want people to do the right thing
+
Why does that have to be so painful?
+
If only everyone had followed the rules
+
I wouldn't have had to cry alone that day
+
For a bird with damp and heavy wings
+
A whispered "You can do it" calls for a clear sky
+
Let us hope that, someday, it's efforts will pay off
+
For the sake of those that believe in someone like me

No matter how much I get hurt
+
I can't pretend that I didn't see anything
+
If only everyone had followed the rules
+
I wouldn't have had to cry alone that day
+
Black spans the entire board, save but a single corner
+
As I am the white piece that can never be flipped
+
On the square that carries the burdens of everyone's sins
+
Will someone place the white piece that will save me
+
No matter how much it hurts me
+
I can't pretend that I didn't see anything
+
I just want people to do the right thing
+
Why does that have to be so painful?
+
If only everyone had followed the rules
+
I wouldn't have had to cry alone that day
+
So as black clouds cover the white sky, I look up and wonder
+
