//------------------------------// // Outside // Story: Stream of Consciousness // by BellChime //------------------------------// I thought I was doing everything right Believe me I tried I tried The good old days feel far away And I remember when everyone would say, "Do what you're told, do what's right, Behave yourself, and you'll be alright." I did what I was told. I did what was right. I did my best to behave. I thought I was alright. So why am I sitting outside? Why am I alone in the cold tonight? Now-a-days everything's upside down. Change at a moment's notice, "No good deed goes unpunished" "No bad deed goes unpraised." If I do bad I am punished. If I do good I am punished. If I do nothing, I am punished. If I exist I am punished. I must be cautious with a little flick of light, I only have so much time. Don't be sad, I'm used to it. but sometimes it does get a bit lonely outside
