Always Alone
I will always be alone
No matter how hard I try
Is it my fate then?
To . . . always be the outcast?
The loner?
The dreamer?
To . . . always stand alone and watch the others
Laugh and talk and play?
To be teased
To be beaten
Unmercilessly
Until the tears I try to hide finally escape?
And then
And then, they walk away laughing
Talking about the moron, the weakling, they say I am
Is that my fate then?
To always be alone?
I . . . have friends
Yet still, I don't fit in
I conclude I never will
How could a red-tailed hawk ever fit in with humans?
And so I sit down now
Alone, still, as I ever will
Resigned to my fate
Yet I will never give up hope
Still clinging on the very last shred
That perhaps, one day
I will never be alone
