Not Like the Books Told It

Loneliness isn't like it's told in the books. It's not sadness or feeling isolated. It's not having anyone to help when you need it. It's partnering with someone in class Because they don't know who YOU are. It's not depression or crying. It's anger at the world that dares to ignore you. It's envy of the people you see laughing, Why don't YOU get to laugh like that? It's not just people ignoring your presence, It's people choosing not to see you. It's rage at the people, the world, even God, All of whom seem to ignore us. Loneliness isn't like it's told in the books. It's more painful.
