Alone.

No one caring,

Getting bullied day after day,

For being different,

For being who I am,

For being what I was,

And no one ever saved me,

Loved me,

Except one.

I was the one who was always left following,

Never able to get ahead,

Always watching you run while I was only able to crawl,

You never helped me improve,

Never let me run with you,

Never defending myself,

I loved you all,

I needed you all,

But I was useless,

Pathetic,

Weak.

But no more am I that girl,

No more protection needed from you,

I still love you,

But you are no longer my life.

I still wish to find you, but…

I run ahead of you now,

Not willing to slow my pace anytime soon.

Can you catch me now?
