Alone and Many
Malls are such fun places.
So busy, like that first day of school
One can know so many people
Yet still be alone.
Alone…
Like the last bead…
Sitting on the table,
Waiting to be strung upon
The necklace.
So I walk in the Mall…
Surrounded by strangers and friends.
But so alone.
I am the only red head
In the store…
The only girl that
Smiles with unbridled
Joy.
I am alone like that bead.
Alone with
People I know…
That is the worst kind
Of
Loneliness.
