In shadows cast by laughter's gleam,
There walks a girl, a quiet dream,
Her heart, a canvas of longing cries,
For she's the one they often pass by.With tender eyes and a soul so kind,
She yearns for connections she cannot find,
In the dance of friendships, she's left behind,
Her hopes, like petals, scattered by the wind.She watches them go, hand in hand,
As laughter dances in a joyous band,
But her steps falter, left out of the frame,
Her name whispers softly, lost in the game.Like a lone star in the midnight sky,
She shines unnoticed, a silent sigh,
Her presence fades, a fading ember's glow,
In a world where friendship seems to ebb and flow.Yet, she carries on, her spirit unbowed,
Through the tears she sheds, she remains proud,
For within her heart, a strength resides,
A resilience that won't be denied.She learns to cherish her own company,
Embracing solitude with grace and glee,
Finding solace in her thoughts and dreams,
In the quiet corners, her spirit redeems.For in the tapestry of her lonely plight,
She weaves a tale of resilience and light,
And as she blossoms, like a wildflower's bloom,
She discovers her worth, dispelling the gloom.One day, the tides of fate may turn,
New horizons beckon, lessons learned,
And in the vast expanse of life's embrace,
She'll find her tribe, her sacred space.So fear not, dear girl, though you're left behind,
Within your heart, an ember still shines,
And when your time comes, you'll spread your wings,
And soar with friends who truly sing.
