poem 027

"Come out and socialize with us."

I for so long wanted to be part of a "click"

But never was

I hate being alone, feeling like a shadow

But it always happens

I fear saying Good bye, so I don't say anything

But I know I should try

I hide behind a smile, my hearts cry's I hide

Now you ask for me to come out and abide

I say yes, I have so much to say,

but no one seems to hear

I long to laughf and have fun again

But no one thinks it's funny

I dread being Just a shadow, that no one really knows

But I usually am

I want to come out and socialize.

I want to be your friend.

I want to be your friend.
