Choose Your Friends Wisely

Zena Williams 2009 (Calgary)

Free verse
Alone or lonely?
Two very different words
Chirping outside your window is a Bird.
Blurred vision
Misheard friends
Return to lonely.
All my friends know I can’t be lonely.
They know me
But they disown me
Never phone me
Then I fall into depression
Left with a question
Why don’t they love me?
It’s a obsession.
I’m left with aggression
I hate being lonely
But i guess it taught me a lesson.
