Alone

Alone

Kristen Garcia

Here I am

In the same place

Over and over again

I want to move

But I can’t

No matter what I try to do

It’s like my body isn’t listening to my brain

No matter how much it shouts

No matter how much it begs

My body just stands there

Everything is moving except me

Others don’t even notice

They just walk past

Like as if nothing is happening

They could all care less

I could just be dying

And they would walk past as if nothing

In that moment I realized something big

Something that I know will change me forever

In that moment I realized

I was alonealone
