Social Isolation
Kyle W May 2015
Around a crowd I feel every heart stroke
Discomfort is the reality
Invisibility creates a cloak
Corrupt thoughts lead to fatality

No one seems to notice I have a heart
Drifting through cities not even a glance
Searching the world for my counterpart
Waiting for the day I can get a chance

I latch on to attention like a chain
I stand in a group yet I feel alone
I hope no one else ever feels this pain
I hope its your name when I check my phone

One day I will find the one who is right
And then I would no longer need to roam
From that point on forever holding tight
Maybe then I could finally have a home

Second Place
Kyle W Apr 2015
I've never been someone's first choice
I suppose I'm the one to blame
Yearning for the sound of your voice
You tease my heart like its a game

Dealing with another defeat
I shouldn't be upset once more
My life never seems to be sweet
I'm stupid this happened before

Once again a girl brought me down
Will I ever be good enough
I want a smile not a frown
This isn't fair but life is rough

— The End —
