"The Three Essentials of Life"
There were times you looked at me
When you were all I could see.
What happened to the times when nothing else mattered?
Now I am in a thousand pieces with my heart shattered.
The friends I thought I had are gone.
I sit in my room, away from everyone, withdrawn.
Gone from the world, departed from my soul, shun from everyone I know.
Now that it is all over, you no longer have to put on a show.
Family, the ones you think you know the best.
Each night, you lay your head thinking you are blessed.
Even they can slip right through your hands, gone forever, never to be seen again.
Just thinking what you would do to see them again is such an emotional strain.
As I sit by the window seal, watching the rain fall.
In this huge world, I feel incredibly small.
Knowing that you’re gone, it kills me inside.
In all actuality I am alive, but really, my soul has died.
There only a few people in this world you can trust.
Just a second is all it takes for them to diminish like dust.
When that bond breaks and your soul has been deprived
Sometimes, it is a wonder that I have survived
Although there are times when you don’t get along,
No matter what happens, families always shall stay strong.
When you think of home, a sense of warmth should come to mind.
A place where you can sit by your window, watching the rain fall and unwind.

I have felt those things too.
I DO know what you are talking about.
Often times when you think you have lost everyone, its because they are busy and really haven't totally lost them even though it can feel like that.
Make people EARN your trust. Give trust little by little and if you take it away, be sure you know WHY you do that, maybe just a misunderstanding sometimes. And if it erodes, let it erode slowly also.
My Dad used to talk about it like a point system, my siblings have mixed feelings about that, I like it though. Just add few when somebody is nice, take away a few when they aren't there for you.

Not to be trite, but one should not formulate a Universal philosophy on teen angst...
Pick up the new "My Chemical Romance" CD instead.
