What a little girl thinks about everyday on her way to school, about her very best friend. |
Shadow Tell me what I really am Am I that, that no one can see? Am I some bizarre little ghost Am I invisible? Seen by only you and me? Is it because I’m hiding? Why am I so afraid? Of the feelings surging up Inside of me the ones Full of friendship and yet, also hate? Is it because I’m so lonely? Is it because I’m scared? Why is it that I’m so anxious To be someone Else’s friend? Why do I feel like I hate you? Does everyone feel this way? I feel like I’m so revolting To hate a friend- What more can I say? Is it jealousy I’m feeling? Am I so very bad? No wonder everyone hates me If I harm the friends I’ve had. I love my friends, I really do But this loneliness does hurt I seem to be a Non-existent with An aura worth of dirt. Why does everyone forget me? Or remember me only for my friend’s sake? I want to be included As an equal, Of their race. Have I really got such a low value? Have I really got no worth? Can I not be liked For me, myself? To be unique on this individual Earth? I need some help, I know it I try and scream aloud But nothing seems to Come outside Maybe it’s because I’m so proud. I feel like a little shadow That no one notices On the wall I wonder if someone will play with me I want a friend –that’s all. Dedicated to the lonely people out there; you will find someone, and someone will care. It just takes time, and confidence in yourself to do it. |
