Time ticks away,
Slowly and painfully
As I sit alone in this dark room,
For many more years to come.

Slowly and painfully,
I get older and older
With no love or friendship
Only memories of the clocks song.

People walk by,
Not one glance at me
As if I'm invisible,
As if I'm a ghost.

And I still sit in the dark room,
Lonely and Friendless
And time still goes on,
Slowly and Painfully.

This poem I wrote one day when it felt like I had no one to talk to. It really is surprising how your feelings can just go so well into a poem. Hope you like my poem!
