Dark Thoughts

123

I still feel lonely.

Even surrounded by people I still feel lonely.

And it sucks because I can't be included.

I smile.

I converse.

I've exchanged contact details to become friends.

But I'm an after thought.

I'm the forgotten invite.

I'm the one who shares her class notes but isn't sat next to at lunch.

I'm the one who works all the time because nothing else takes that time away.

I am the awkward moth and you are the social butterfly.

I am alone because no one wants to talk to me.

And I will isolate myself because I feel unneeded.

I'm superfluous in your circle of friends.

An outsider.

I can't break the barrier into the secret circle.

But I'll sit there.

I'll be surrounded by people.

And I'll be all alone.
