I Am By Myself

I am reaching out to you

But you cannot or will not hear

Can’t you see that I am in need?

You look without seeing my tears

I am so lonesome. All by myself

No one to care, no friends in sight

I reflect and wonder why I am teased

Am I so different?  What is my plight?

Bullying, teasing, you cannot stop

You do not try or reason why

People like to attack others

Through truth or lies

Why am I here, still alive

With no one to care

Will I ever have a friend?

This is my true prayer

High school is not the dream I once dreamed

It’s a curse, a hateful place

I dread school daily as I face my foes

I put on a smile, my fake face.

No teacher, parent, or for that fact anyone

Can solve the problems in our school

Drugs, parties, and alcohol are all crutches

Yet I haven’t been that kind of fool

I need the strength to go on

Be by myself, learn to live and love

There is no answer or anyone to care

But the one from above

I am by myself
