Ever been lonely in a crowd or within a group of friends? well I have and I can tell you exactly how it feels. It feels like grasping on straws, like forced conversations. It feels like waiting for an opening every two minutes to get a joke in so everyone can laugh and maybe then they won't notice that you don't get their inside jokes,that you don't fit. It feels like sadness, all the time, from the moment you get there to the minute you leave, like wanting to cry all day, yeah I mean all day, including during the jokes, the laughter, the games, all of it. It feels like wanting to walk away but having to stay because by God I won't be that pathetic girl sitting alone during breaks,I won't. It feels like constantly defending your views, like ultimatums, like conditions. It feels like talking all day but crying yourself to sleep at night because you have no one to talk to.
I finally put my feelings down on paper and yeah that's exactly how I felt throughout my entire high school journey
