Alone Maybe
Alone
She was always alone
Making a shield out of her phone
Alone
So alone
The feeling engraved into her bones
Maybe it's because she doesn't act normal
She's not insane
But there are so many things in her brain
That makes her act out to escape
Even with others
She doesn't feel among
She's like a lone bird
Singing the broken melody of a sad song
So many thoughts run through her head
Thoughts she think people said
Every time she takes a walk
She thinks everyone just wants to talk
She says 'hello' and tries to smile
But she's just awkward and silly and feels so vile.
Maybe she's just overreacting
About the gaping hole that fills her chest
That she may never be with the others
And be loved by the rest.
She knows someone out there who loves and acknowledges her
And she loves them too
But some days are just hard
And filled with so much sorrow and rue.
I know this poem doesn't make sense.
It's not neat or organized like the rest
It's messy and lonely and runs through the lines
Of a blank page or document
Goodnight
