In my own little world

Smiling faces are all around me.

People are talking and laughing.

Its like they are in a different world.

I hate them.

 

I walk by at a steady pace.

Nobody seems to notice me.

Its like I am in my own world.

All alone.

 

They all seem happy together.

Why am I the one that has to be alone?

All I have is myself to confide in.

Sadness is my only friend.

 

Oh how I hate them!

Them and their stupid smiles.

'Their annoying laughter.

It makes me sick.

 

They just stand there as I walk by.

Lost in their own little world.

And here I am.

Forever lost in mine.

 

 

 

Author's Note

Its my little sister birthday and here I am writing this damn poem. Alone in my room, sitting in the dark. They are in there laughing and having fun, not even noticing that I am not there. I dont even fit in with my own family...how pathetic

I really like this; the concept and the image that it creates. I completely know how you feel, as well. It's dark and relatable. I love it(:

[Time's The Bond]

I totally get the feeling but you know seems everyone is in their own little world if you really think about it. I don't really like my sisters either I am the youngest perhaps that's the reason but I think not. So I know exactly how you felt writing this.

awwwww

This was great

Last line is really perfect. Just pretty much sums it up and also pretty ironic too. I understand this feeling too, but everyone gets it sometimes. Everyone is different, so we never will truly fit in.

I think we all feel alone and out at some point in our lives. You described how I feel to the point when it does happen. It's very nice.

Wow! Really great job!!!

We all make choices, and those choices have results that we may or may not like. This is part of life. Choose to sit in the darkness and that's where you will be.

It was an excellent write of alienating yourself from others.

i get it, sometimes you just feel like your alone. Sometimes my family makes me want to go sit in my room and be alone cuz they drive me crazy!

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

Hahaha, I thought this was about friends for some reason but it's funny. Sometimes Cara's little friends get on my nerves, too so you're not alone, Haha. You do fit in your family, they should notice you even with your siblings' friends there or not. I'm sorry that you go through this. Don't sit around and let them smile and have all of the fun. You go out and have a good time, too! Not too much fun though ;)

I go through this all the time. The good thing is you have the time to find what truly makes you smile and laugh like when everyone else is laughing and you're not. Once you find that the world will revolve around you. It's all about mindset. Great poem though it illustrates the pain and frustration of not having that true connection with other people. Hobbies are a good place to start if you're in a funk. Once you realize how your mind works you can change alot. Keep writing though. :)
