Alone - By: Richa Tripathi
And I watched
As everyone around me connected with their love
United with their soulmates
Found their center
And all I could do was watch
For when the bell rang
When the time came
I found myself backed in a corner
Home in the shadows
Alone.
Why am I even surprised?
All I've ever been was alone.
