Alone

shannahrose

I stand alone in the crowded hall

I’m not afraid to walk I’m afraid to fall

I have people who claim to be my friend

But I know they won’t be there in the end

Sometimes I imagine people thinking of me

But the truth is they will never see

For who I am will never be known

Because I am the girl afraid to be shown

    "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do" a song by Three Dog Night . You are just a flower bud , not yet opened to the world as of yet . Given time you will open up and people will praise your beauty and intelligence .

  • Gary Edward Geraci

    Good when we get the accolades and the recognition of mere mortals. But you're right - in the end it simply doesn't matter. You are madly and eternally loved and adored by your Creator - this I know for a fact. And because He does...so do I.

    Great thoughts penned. Don't be afraid to shine. If you never try, you'll never know. Believe in yourself, and become who you want to be!

    WELCOME SHANNAH ~ Thanks for your first poem ~ which has a sad ring to it for one so young. I felt a bit like that at 16 (many of us do). MPS is a very FRIENDLY site and I trust you are encouraged by our positive comments. Please ask if you have any Q's about MPS or Life ~ We ARE your Friends ~ Yours BRIAN (UK). Please check my Poems ~ Thanks B.

    'afraid to be shown?' never-the-less, the words you have penned here are showing good signs of ability and opportunity to shine outwards rather than inwards. keep them coming shannahrose.
