When you end up sitting on the toilet bowl with your tray on your lap, because somebody places a bag on an empty seat when she sees you coming.
Welcome to the land of misfit toys, where we are all lost.
Whisper & giggles
When you talk behind someone's back, don't point at them.
We don't wear capes; there're no superheroes on the rescue.
When everyone in your group of friends went out and didn't invite you
When you have to place a book in front of your eyes just to tell everybody don't talk to me because nobody's going to talk to you anyway
When you find it exhausting to smile
to drink
to stare
to breathe
I don't know
Wonderlands are negative, when you can say "so me" to depressing quotes on a wrong tumblr page
Worms swim up and down through your bed cover
Warmth swim away and never come back
When you realize this is going to start again
When you have to laugh even though you don't know what's funny just not to feel left out
Words do drill holes
We're not caught up in your love affair
We can never be royals
When you sing inside your head and can't cover the shrieks from inside
Willy Wonka lives in your drawer and produces cockroach legs
Who knows
Where you leg could end up tomorrow
Wonderlands of perfect solitude.

This is just some random thoughts on being isolated, and sad.
