To the bench
No one is around
Except the birds
Who twitter softly
I sit down alone
No one beside me
And eat my lunch alone.
There are jocks and nerds
There are geeks and pimps
And I envy them
For they aren't alone
At least they can walk
To the bench
And not be alone.
I am not alone
I have friends
Just my friends
They cannot be
Near me now
I am alone
And yet, not alone
Those precious moments
When I am not alone
When I am with my friends
Are so sacred and yet
O, so evil to me
The topics they speak of
Are foreign to me
And I still am alone.
I wasn't alone before
No, I wasn't
I was a social butterfly
But being alone
Has shaped me
Into a person
I'd never thought
I'd become
But now I am alone
I stand
In a crowd of thousands
And have never been
More alone
