Lonely

I sit alone, close to tears,
As the room confirms my fears.
Singled out, I’m all alone,
As my present plight as shown.

I bite my lip; I want to cry.
And not one person can guess why.
This only proves I have no friends,
And I won’t even in the end.

It’s like I’m invisible, no one sees.
No one knows what it’s like being me.
Too shy to speak, I dare not say
Why anyone could hurt me in this way.

Completely withdrawn, I have no prayer,
That one might see me from over there.
Can no one see me? Are they that blind?
That not one person, me shall find?

God, this hurts; I feel betrayed.
For all my sorrows, I’ve more than paid.
I give in to the tears, but no one sees.
Will someone notice me ever, please?

Yet nobody spots my worst fears,
No one sees my heartbroken tears.
I’m lonely beyond belief,
And no one understands my grief.

I should be used to it, I suppose,
Yet every time my sorrow grows.
No one notices my neglect,
At least not that I can recollect.

I have few friends; no surprise.
There is no point for me to lie.
Every day, I grow more detached.
Every day, my hurt I patch.
