A Stranger's Opinion

angry, at being alone
why, why, WHY?
to be doomed
to be damned
One is such a lonely number
I am not one of the
the "lucky ones"
so don't answer that
when I say how I feel
for how is being alone
so lucky?
To see such happiness around me
and know I am excluded
from this "exclusive club"
Because I have never loved
or ever been loved before
from a club for those only beautiful
for a club for those only nice
a club for those not shy
a club for those who are not me
If I change
I was told by a stranger
I would finally be beautiful to someone
If I change my appearance for 'them' then at last on would become two
and those words were like knives to my heart
tearing upd the esteem I had left
and making me feel unwanted

but now it's over and done with
I think about it no more
your voiced is silenced forever
you don't exist to me
you're gone.
