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
