my only real poem
June 16, 2021
The more people around me, the more alone I feel.
But lonely is a normal feel.
For me, at least.
I don't cry. I keep my eyes ahead
Someday i’ll be surrounded by people
People who pay attention to me
People remember i exist
I'm not shy. I'm not an introvert
But i'm still invisible
And the more people there the more invisible i am.
And i'm not breaking, because i have a bright future
I hope.
But i don't have to worry about friends
Because my eyes will stay on someday
And in someday, i’ll be happy
And for now, i have characters
And people in my head
And that will have to be enough.

oh yes, i know that feeling well. my poems can testify.
Definitely dreading Wednesday night church also. There's a girl there who was my friend over the summer and then abruptly starting ignoring me almost completely. I keep telling myself it's my imagination, but every week it feels more real. Do you know how cold it feels when you're watching people socialize in a circle and you're sitting across from them staring into your soul but they don't ever notice you? Also a photographer walks by and photographs the circle-kids. I had a mental breakdown last week...only coming home and writing for a couple hours calmed me down.

i agree. and i downplay it and pretend I don't mind when people ask. i do like m characters, but seeing real people talking to each other nd ignoring me isan awful feeling. and well the more people there the more alone is true, the less people there the more it feels like those who are are activinly choosing to ignore me. i have this feeling most at church on Wednesday nights. i have to go because of my calling, it primarily consists of organizing Wednesday night activities. so while I have responsibilities, ill continue to make myself cry and make myself pretend I don't care. I've been more or less alone since third grade. i should be used to it. I've had a few friends come and go, but I'm alone. all I have for myself are promises that someday things will be different. i don't know if its a lie or not.
i cant remember if.. my only anyonymus wolfwalkers were duplicites that I couldn't delete. i think ti deleted them.i have a couple poems and a few stupid things I cant take down.

Yeah. I hate how others mix up invisible with introvert--they think because nobody wants to talk to me, I must like being alone, when it's not really that way. I wrote a poem with a non-title too, it's called "The Final Poem," which shouldn't be taken the wrong way. It could sound like it's the last poem a person writes before committing suicide or something, but let's not take it that way. I am kind of a daydreamy nerd who finds imaginary characters better company than real people.
this is about me. i dont write real stuff about me often, but I... yeah. here it is. but I'll get over it. i always do. i didn't give it a title because its not like one of my other poems. it doesn't need a title and it doesn't need a reader. but I put everything I write on teen ink.
