Isolated
Isolated, in the corner you sit alone.
While others speak to a friend of their own.
You look longingly into the distance,
wishing someone would notice your existence.
Isolated, in the corner you sit alone.
Wait... you see someone coming your way.
Could today be the day,
the day you make a friend?
The one that will be there until the end?
Isolated, in the corner you sit alone.
No, that was anything but the truth.
The person was looking for a girl named Ruth.
As they walked away,
you look down and say,
"Why must I be so secluded?"
That's when you concluded,
people find you weird.
They feared your appearance,
but they fail to realize, your human too.
Isolated, in the corner you sit alone.
But what could you do?
Nothing but sit alone,
without a friend of your own.
As you look longingly into distance,
wishing, wanting, someone to notice your existence.
Isolated, in the corner you sit alone.
