The Outcast

Here I stand alone, but I am not free

Because every friend I tried to hold, has let go of me

Every time I say hello, they ignore me

I tried to reach out for some company

But they left me alone, with me and only me

Is there anyone out there, who wants to be with me?

To be by my side, when I am feeling lonely

Does anyone want to talk awhile and sit with me?

Why must I be the outcast, is there something wrong with me

Is it the way I talk about certain things,

Or how I may seem distant when I’m only listening

Is it because I don’t feel the same way when your heart breaks

Am I really so different for them to ignore me

Are their lives too busy to even notice me?

Will I forever be the outcast, forced to walk this path on my own

Or will someone take my hand, so I don’t have to be alone.

Been there, felt that

Decades ago, I was treated that way in 6th and 6th grades, sophomore year in high school, and freshman and sophomore in college.  When I finallt got out of school(s) and into the real world, I found out that school is an artificial environment, in which such cruelties have a more free reign than even in a corporate setting.  It gets better once a person gets out.  That is a shameful commentary on our society.

If you find yourself alone

If you find yourself alone all the time...it usually means you need to start seeing yourself in a more beautiful way. No one else can do that. You are the only one. And you must do it until you would rather listen to the sound of your own drummer than anyone else's. Just what has worked for myself. Maybe try it!!! Do not be afraid of you!!!

...you are beautiful!♡♥♡

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I'm alone even among so called friends. They all wanna change me and tell me how to live my life.

I feel like this everyday.

I feel like this everyday. Outcast of life. A mistake God did't mean to make
