Poetry: Alone

~Condition Called Loneliness~



Never wanted many friends
I guess I got my wish
About this I don't pretend
In life I found my own niche



Just wanted to play alone
Was made fun of often
Imaginary friends at home
Behind my back...heard talking



I didn't really care much
Though my feelings were hurt
I sat by myself at lunch
They'd tease me and kick dirt



Friends became harder to find
Alone throughout each school
It's not like I didn't try
It's true...kids can be so cruel



At least I went to the Prom
I didn't dance that night
School days that have come and gone
Battles I chose not to fight



I still don't have many friends
And I still get the stares
Just not worth it to pretend
So what, I'm in a wheelchair

    a world full of
    beating hearts with
    no compassion.
    unending

    Alone

    If you ever sipped from the
    chalice of awareness, the penalty
    could be: depression-
    living in a small coagulated island
    within

    ALONE

    Her form lies printed on the sheet
    Her fragrance lingers in the heat
    What chance that we again should meet
    On distant shores
