ALONE

"Invalid Item" 

Only the depths of despair surround me.
Shielding me from all that I love.
For I am alone.
Alone in this world of emptiness
Where there is no beauty,
tranquility or love,
but only chaos and confusion.
And here, everything portrays
in colors of black and white.

No one can touch me.
No one can hurt me.
For I am alone.
Alone in this world
that I have created.

I look into the surrounding faces.
Nobody acknowledges my presence.
Nobody smiles or says a friendly, ‘hello’.
Everyone scorns me.
Their sardonic grins fit their
faces perfectly like masks.
No longer do I feel welcome.

I am now an outcast.
Walking the paths of this strange
yet familiar place, alone.
