Poem - Loneliness

by Dave Robinson

Last to be picked when choosing teams
Not talked to when walking in
Talked about when walking out

Someone please notice me - but for the right reasons

The one without an ice cream
The one hoping ‘please, let it be soon’

Sitting in a corner
Looking like a mourner
Odd amongst evens

Isolation isn’t a word, it’s a sentence
I love life, but it’s unrequited

My defence has been hate
That whirlpool that makes you go round and round
I wanted to be ashore but I kicked at the key-side
Because no one threw me a rope

Behind the venom, is a lost soul

Dig behind the attitude, and visit me

Note: See Luke 5:31
