I Sit There Alone

I sit there alone 

Surrounded by humans

Humans

Humans like me

What am I meant to be?


I sit there alone

The cold air, brushing my black hair

Feeling the harsh winds bite my rough skin,

While I think in despair 


I sit there alone

Hearing the sounds of laughter and joy,

My heart starts to ache,

Feeling depressed and destroyed 


I sit there alone

And hear someone talking

She’s so miserable, they say, snickering

I want to run away


I sit there alone

Stomach in twisted knots

Darkness slowly swallowing me up

I break into small parts


I sit there alone

Feeling myself shaking

Shaking

I hear the bell ring

And I walk away from everything


I now stand alone,

Waiting to go inside

I can’t wait to go home

So I can cry

My piece is a poem about a girl, who sits alone during school, and what she has to go through.
