Alone


Do you know how it feels to be rejected?

To be left out and constantly neglected.

To be treated like the black sheep of the family.

To be ignored and treated as a tragedy.

To be ridiculed as if you were a mistake.

To be repeatedly put in a mysteriously dark place.

A place in which you feel there is no escape.

Like a wolf looking for a wolf pack, you long to be accepted.

Accepted for who you are and what you do.

Like a wireless network, you long to be connected.

Connected to a world that often forgets you.

Yet, throughout it all, you stay positive.

You try to enjoy the little things in life.

Even if those little things are enjoyed by your lonesome, 

You tell yourself that everything is going to be alright.

When in reality, you feel trapped.

Trapped between loneliness and despair.

Constantly being pushed aside to the point where your emotions are beyond repair.

Yet, like a bull, you stay strong and push through.

Even if that means you have to fake the real you.
