Not Lonely


Have you ever felt unnoticed? Stood silently, hoping to be approached? Sat and stared at the wall, hoping someone talks? Stood in a group completely ignored? This is for the lonely, the ignored, the left out The ones who are never included Maybe you are too quiet, or talk too much? Maybe too bossy or not confident enough? Perhaps you are too ugly, or your looks make them jealous? Maybe your clothes are too flashy or too dull? Possibly, it's just you? Over my years, I have found There isn't much reason why one is left out It's not like they hate me, or there's anything wrong I just always manage to not stand out And I'm not lonely, not at all
