alone

I stand alone,

Yet surrounded by many.

No one ever notices the girl

With tears where diamonds should be.

I was once known;

Remembered by a force of bullying

So strong that I couldn't bear to live.

But, by myself,

I overcame the hurt.

And soon my name drifted away

With the wind as the summer heat returned.

Another victim with the same fate.

Loneliness stings like a bee,

But being forgotten

Is a snake bite to the heart.
