All Alone

By: Nathan Francis

When I am alone
I talk to things
Things that aren't there
Because I have no one else to talk to
When I am alone
I listen to music
Because I like some noise
When I am alone
I get sentimental
Because I like to reflect
When I am alone
I am not funny or bold
I am of little importance
When I am alone
It seems like I am the only person in the world
And the world feels lonely
When I am alone
I play video games
Because I feel like I am with people
When I play with them
When I am alone
I criticize myself
For not being the best I can be
When I am alone
I talk with the voices in my head
Because they are like family to me
When I am alone
I imagine talking with people
That aren't really there
But some place else
When I am alone
I talk to myself
Because when I am alone
It doesn't annoy anyone else
When I am alone
Usually I am sad
