Alone
by Vanessa L. Trask
I have three best friends,
And other friends besides,
Why do I feel so alone?
Someone is talking to me
I don’t even listen.
Why do I feel that coldness
In the pit of my stomach?
Someone taps my shoulder.
I don’t respond.
Why is a cold feeling
Creeping over me?
Probably because someone
Just put a snowball down
The back of my coat.
I feel my anger rising,
Taking over my loneliness.
I am no longer alone.
The End
