The Hall

Groups float around me.

They silently taunt me.

Remind me I don’t belong.

I’m stared at.

They wonder, why is she alone?

Nobody stops to ask.

I feel the tears coming.

I duck into a bathroom, command myself to stop.

But I can’t.

I can’t keep it in any longer.

But I have to.

Just get to class.

I come back out, my cheeks damp.

Nobody asks what’s wrong.

Why would they?

I’m nobody.

Oh High School days of being the odd person out... I relate to this. A lot of people saw me around just wondering "who the hell is this?" while I just felt sort of out of place. I just kept walking, I am not a puzzle piece and was glad that everyone around me thought of me as different. At the very least I didn't have to do anything under any expectations.

This is a very emotional poem that I can relate too. For I know it all too well, all too well. ^_^ Amazing write!
