Alone
May 7, 2021
Lost time slips so fast
Alone and missing bliss
Others chant and run right past
With everything I missed
How does it feel to have a friend
A close one by your side
Ball and chain will now mend
The calves stitched on my thigh
The cracked voice trapped inside
Screeches for its chance
But my fear of losing all my pride
Won’t let me share a glance
They have their laughs at half past 2
I see them walk the streets
If only I could switch with you
And make the two ends meet
Another day and yet a croak
No eyes have noticed me
I may never find my yolk
To match the toast and brie
So now I sit alone again
One foot dances swiftly
Beads of sweat have come to land
As I wish someone was with me

This poem is about my struggles with social anxiety and how I feel that I'm missing out on a high school experience and my lack of friends. It's very hard for me to make friends and I often times have many regrets about choices I made and I think of the time that I have lost in high school wasting my time.
