when_everyone_else
jennifer you get some small satisfaction from being the person someone has a crush on
but I think back
when everyone else was 13 and getting their first kisses, I was in therapy for self_mutilation
when everyone else was 16 and going on their first real dates, I was taking medication for depression
when everyone else was 19 and getting ready for college, I was stuck on the boy 222 miles away who had no thought to love me back
when everyone else was living their lives, I was stuck in mine

Silent Bob When everyone else was having self destructive psuedoromantic and sexual relationships at 14, i was falling in love.
When everyone else was finally getting thier real shot at happiness i was biting my tongue wishing it would happen to me.
When everyone else was depressed that none of their relationships were working out, i was finding my first, and i had already learned from hearing about their mistakes so i knew exactly how to handle my situation and that has made all the difference.

Splinken when everyone else was sleeping, i was awake.

when everyone else was getting those two dollar valentine candygrams the Beta Club sold on Valentine's Day (delivered right to your class, even), i was callously dumping someone in a clover patch.

when everyone else was going in sweet pairs to the movies, i was chasing a red-haired mechanic down the sidewalk, yelling at the back of his head.

Santos when everyone else was here...

i was there

and vice versa, etcetera, ad nauseam

when the reporters ask...
i hope someone says
"yeah, we knew he was pretty fucked-up...it was just a matter of time

sarpedon When I was 13, when everyone else was figuring out the opposite sex, I just sat there watching in bewilderment.

When I was 15, when everyone else was worrying about who they were going to ask, and who was going to ask them to dance, I just remained in the background, never asked, never asking.

Now that I am 17, and everyone else is complaining about how their relationships never really worked, how they wish someone could understand them, and are still preoccupied with sex, I find someone who has stayed away from it all, just like I have.
--Where everyone else has had their fill and look on relationships in bad light, I seemingly am starting my first.
--Where everyone else may wonder at how I avoided it all, I rejoice in saving my emotions until I could really understand what they meant.
--When everyone else didn't think it was possible, I finally fall in deeply in love with someone.
--When everyone else now just asks everyone out, I am building up a wonderful relationship starting as a friend.
--When everyone else thinks it doesn't work this way, I just smile, and go my own way.

heel turn when everyone else dwelt below the sea

i slept in the fire

me and the anærobic bacteria

when everyone else learned to fly
and learned to shine

i sank to the depths
playing with the bioluminescent ones who relive the days as bright anegls down in the crushing abyss

birdmad when they spoke against you and wrote you off, i stood by you and waited.

when they told you i was not worth keeping

The Schleiffen Man when everyone else was playing with toys, i was memorizing dinosaur names...

when everyone else was sleeping tonight, i was cleaning the overflowed toilets...

when everyone else is at peace, i shall be at peace as well...

Raina when everyone else walks away,
satisfied and bellies full of the main course that they made of my pride
I wipe off my war paint and cry

nocturnal damn. when everyone else was writing stuff here, I read what they wrote. I was about to add my own tale of being on the outside, but then I found that sarpedon told my life story already for me, word for word. weird. well, change 17 to 19 and it's word for word. saved me some time. 010430

josie When everyone else wanted me today, during the phase of this middle moon,i said no..
and i found myself lying awake, reading my own thoughts, dancing before my own hands, glistening in my own light, deciding whether or not this was my real contentment.
When everyone else was looking for me, i saw myself shimmering behind the branches.
