Loneliness
Salma Hadi-St. John, 11
My friends are all gone
My life has disappeared
Into a new world of loneliness
It is just my family and I
Loneliness is like a tree in the desert
The only cat in town
A star stuck in space
A speck of dust in the air
Loneliness is when you are the only one
At your birthday party
When you sit on the steps of your porch
On a dark rainy day
It feels like I am trapped inside
Waiting for people to come
Watching the clock on the wall
Scratching the door like a dog
But sometimes you just have to fight
Loneliness
You can’t be alone everyday
When I wake up today
It is the start of a new day
We can be a force together
We just need to reach out for each other
Feeling happiness again
I feel the same. COVID-19 has blocked me out on so many people! I just started a new school, and it’s tough for me to make friends.
