Tag as favoriteOut On Your Own 
By MICHAEL V., Canton, MA
Trying to keep up with the gang,
but failing each time,
he wanders away feeling sad.
Looking for something to do
he finds an older boy nearby,
silently listening.
They play and play
happy in each other's company
until ...
His little gang returns
and says, "Can we play, too?"
He lets them
because he knows how it feels
to be out on your own.
This piece has also been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.

I see how you feel when you strive to keep up with others but your plan fails and that you find someone that might take the place of ones shoes but only then others tag along because he knows that they do not want to out on their own
