Sit in a chair <br />alone <br />People I thought were <br />friends <br />sit together but away from me. <br />Alone <br />I sit, wishing my <br />friends <br />would sit by me. <br />Alone <br />I get the urge to cry, for <br />friends <br />who don’t speak to strangers. <br />Alone <br />I sit, looking at the clock, seeing <br />friends <br />consider me as nothing. <br />Sit in a chair <br />alone <br />People I thought were <br />friends <br />sit together, but away from me.<br /><br />Deana Rode<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/1999-alone/
