AN: So like I said in the summary, this was an AP Lit assignment where I had to write a poem based on the emotions that isolation and separation bring, so it's pretty depressing. And I'm not gonna lie, I basically popped this out in like 15 minutes haha. But it didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would be, so I figured I might as well put it up on fictionpress and see what people have to say. But just so you know, I'm not a big fan of poetry, so I obviously am not very experienced with writing poetry. I would love to know how I could improve my poetry writing skills ('cause I'm going to be writing a lot more poetry over the next month for class haha) so comments and criticism would be appreciated. Thanks! =)
ALONE I STAND
Unfamiliar place, new situation,
How utterly out of place I feel.
Yearning for that sense of belonging,
Not wanting to go through this ordeal.
Nobody knows, and nobody cares,
There, alone, I stand.
Watching, waiting, for someone to approach,
But no one comes to lend a hand.
So I am left, dejected,
Wishing someone would notice me,
And break this barrier that separates
To see who I can be.
