Description I was a fool.

To believe that they really wanted me in their lives?

That I was really important, something they needed?

Something they WANTED?

I knew better than to think that I was important to someone. Anyone.

They have each other. Other people. Everyone.

Smart people. Sweet people. Beautiful people.

No one could want or need someone as ugly as me.

Not with all the choices in the world.

I thought I was needed once.

There was one person to whom I was important.

One person that I thought loved me.

Then again...

I thought they loved me, too.

They all showed their true colors.

Beautiful, fake shades of pinks, blues, whites and greens.

Showed mine, red as the blood begging to spill from my throat.

.... I was a fool.

It sounds a bit inconclusive, but that only means it's full of possibilities.
It's well written, so great job.

Dark. Really, really dark. Like go out into space, face away from all the stars, and and close your eyes, and it MIGHT be as dark as that poem.

Still, I like it. Nicely done.
