It's the feeling of complete and utter loneliness. The feeling when you're the last one awake at night. The one who never knows anything. When your friends come and go with the school season and you're then left isolated for three months until you're noticed again in the fall. But then act as the same person, even though your mindset changes with the wind.

The feeling when you have nobody to talk to during the day, when your closest friend of nine years never tells or ever told you anything. So then you reciprocate, and dissociate further into being alone. And farther away from that friend.

It feels as though I've moved to a new town, where I don't know anybody, and nobody knows me. Except I've never moved, and this is the same town I've always known. The feeling of being an outsider. All alone, and nobody to turn to
