Isolation

by Jessica Alise - Leo

I started out normal
Now things have changed

 As I sit down, my life stands still
The world goes on perfectly without me
I feel as if I'm dead 
Even if I'm not, people still ignore me
They act as if I'm not here
As if I don't even exist
Well, I DO

 I do exist 
I live and I breathe 
As my well woven life is busting at the seams
I drop to my knees and burst out crying

 I can't take it any more
I'm sick to my stomach of people calling me names
Over and over and over again in my head
Deep inside I know I'm nothing like they say
Someday I hope someone will understand
But until then I will isolate everyone from my heart

Reason for writing:

    the way I felt at an earlier time, Ifelt that I had to speak out
