Forever Alone

June 7, 2016

Talk and chatter

Giggles and laughs

My friends don’t seem to see me

I sit alone in a dark corner

No one seems to get me

Someone notices my gloom

“What’s wrong with you?” they ask

I turn and glare

They balk then stare

Those filthy hypocrites

Then they say I’m always cranky

That I always need a hanky

When really it’s all their fault

They banter and talk, ignore me with no shame

To the point where I want to hide in a vault

Then I ask,

AM I INVISIBLE?

The thought chills me to the bone

I’m surrounded by people,

And yet I’ve never felt more alone

Something wrong with this poem?
