Lonely in high school

This story is a short introduction to my many struggles in high school. This is only the beginning...

In high school I was different and that made it hard to make friends. Even later on when I had friends, I still felt different from then. I changed myself to feel normal and that made me feel more alone because they were not friends with me, they were friends with a fake version of me. I felt alone and different. Then I didn’t see the power I had being different; I saw it as wrong, and I was scared.

I wrote this poem in high school; I was sitting alone while my friends were behind me having fun. I was surrounded but alone. This poem reflects how I felt in those time. I was sad, alone and didn’t see a way out, I was lost. I was slowly losing my mind.

The lonely chair

What once was a lonely chair

Staring at the world through glass

Skin so cold and fair

Dreaming of what might, could be

Walking slowly past each child

Like a shadow searching for light

Lonely laughter fills the air

At hiding eyes, they stair

The world full of heathens

Why can nobody see them?

Yearning for the last piece of hope

For one day it may only be a note

What once was a lonely chair

Looking for love and acceptance

Is now more silent than before

Still searching through the storm

Today they al stare at the lonely eyes

For its like looking in a mirror

Around each corner they hear a sigh

Just trying to fight, stay alive

Like moths they sneakily search for the light

For it is getting duller and duller each night

There eyes are like mine

Still they try to hide

Lonely chairs fill the air

Not just one chair

Not even a pair

We are all in despair

Like I said high school was tuff. I didn't know who I was yet. It felt like I was in the wrong place al the time. Every second I was there I wish I wasn't. But this story has a happy ending.

Just know things do get better and even though i hated high school, I am happy I went through it.
