Day 90: The 'Out' Crowd

(Written April 11, 2011)

Having removed herself from an unwelcoming situation,
She finds her absence largely unnoticed.
Given that her leaving was as a result of feeling(s) hurt,
One can imagine the compounding of said hurt.

She resolves not to leave, but simply to observe.
Give them time to notice and lament her missing (missed?) presence.
All the while, she knows the favour she seeks is unobtainable.
But still she waits.

With the fervour of one
Who wants desperately to believe
They are special;
That one of the faceless masses will join her.

She waits. And is waiting still,
Not wanting to admit to the possibility that she is indeed
NOT. SPECIAL.
Admitting to something such as this would mean
Certain death. Or, at least, sadness.
