This is a story type of thing I wrote a while back. It was inspired by a feeling I got when I listened to the song Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day. The way I wrote it was different then the way I write most things but oh well, here is the story. I have one more of these called Compassion and two short stories. I probably won't post them. Language Warning

I walked the crowed halls, people all around me but no one next to me. There never is anyone beside me, talking to me, making me laugh. No one truely there for me. It's been that way for years, for as long as I can remember, I've been on my own. I've been alone, walking by myself.

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk past classes full of students, other kids my age, none of them know me. The halls around me start to empty and I'm left hearing my footsteps echo in the silent hall. No one knows me, they think they do but they are wrong. I am someone none of them will ever be able to comprehend, a person all my own.

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

When I was young I played with those who don't exsist. I never had anyone to play with, only my shadow. I remember all the times I wanted to see someone aske me to play, to see me and want to be my friend. That time has yet to come. I continue to walk the silent halls, my footsteps echoing and my heart beating in my ears. No I'm not nervous, it is just so quiet in these white painted halls. I hope someday the time will come when I'm not the one walking alone, walking with no one beside me.

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

These halls are all lines that divide those held within the walls. It divides me, do I want to be an outsider, outside of the rooms filled with others where I can be me, or do I want to be one of those held inside, where I won't be alone any more. I stand at a closed door, trying to decide if I want to be one in the room. I look around, still alone in the hall, how can I decide? How can I find out if I want to be one in the room if I can't be sure they will acept me? How?

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Can't anyone tell I don't want to e alone? Can't anyone tell from the sadness that is contained within my eyes or is it hidden too well? Is it really alright to be alone like this? Is it really okay to be by yourself all the time? If I'm alone how can I know what is real? Is it all a dream or is it reality? How can I be sure? I know I'm still alone as I turn and walk back down the empty hall, the unforgiving white staring me in the face.

Read between the lines
What's f**ked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

I've always been alone, am I supposed to come to terms with that? Am I supposed to accept that I am to be alone for my life? Will there ever be someone beside me? Someone to help me through this hall, through this place? Is my shadow the only thing that will be beside me or will there be a time when there are others? I wish someone would come to me, tell me they want to be my friend.

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk down the halls, echoing footsteps everytime I go forward. I look through the doors into the rooms where others sit, where I should be. I don't belong here, I never did. Why am I here if I don't belong? Why am I here if I am the only one out of place?

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

Will I always walk alone? Will I always walk this Boulevard of Broken Dreams?

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...
