Challenge
January Drabble: "Some would say your life was sad,
but you lived it anyway" lyrics challenge
Incorporating lyrics from the song, "Far Behind" by Candlebox, tell me a story in exactly 100 words. Stick enough of the lyrics in your drabble to make it obvious you're following the challenge goals, but you don't have to copy/paste big chunks. I'm curious to see what y'all can do with prose on a song lyric challenge; my last lyrical prompt generated some STELLAR stuff. Get after it! Winner selected by me sometime in early Feb, entries need to be written as prose following conventional spelling, punctuation, and grammar to be considered eligible for a win or honorable mention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHi8bwGsaKE
It was never me.
Couldn't share the pain and...watch you suffer. They watch you suffer. You should've told me, but you left me far behind. But in some sense, one day, when people look at you, you'll feel shame. Shame you left my life so soon. See, I know, the pain. Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad and then maybe some would say your life was sad but...you lived it anyway. They. Your friends they come and watch you crumble to the ground, they watch you suffer. They're the ones holding you down. And maybe, it was never me.
