Lonely Girl
Poetry #5
She ran out of the classroom
As anger poured out of her.
She looked up at the ceiling
Tears running down her face,
She swore the ceiling looked out of place.
One friend tapped her shoulder…
Happiness filled inside of her,
A single teardrop of joy,
As this friend was the only one
…who checked up on her.
The next day,
there wasn’t much to say
as all of them turned their backs on her
Cackling, giggling, and rolling their eyes
She let out a sigh,
Sat alone and said
“Someday they’ll pay…
But not today,
There’s much work that needs to be done
Before you can run away
from this pain…
Keep going, keep working,
You have a lot to gain
I promise…
someday you’ll smile again”
— to the lonely girl who’s no longer lonely
