Alone.
Something I know too well.
The feeling of being around others
but not mentally being there.
The feeling of people knowing
that you're there,
but then simply not caring.
The feeling of completely
empty words.
The feeling of speaking
and not being heard.
But I'm no longer speaking.
Oh no,
I'm screaming.
Screaming for help.
Screaming for someone to hear me
and understand that I,
an introverted girl,
am very much alone.
