Wishing for a Friend-Elizabeth

I am the one
I am the one you turn away from.
I am the one who has no one.
I am the voice in the dark, calling out for your help.

All I really need is a friend.
All I really need is someone to talk to.
I'm caught in my own little world,
wishing someone would listen.

I know I am different.
and that you don't care for me.
I just want someone to care,
anyone to care.

Maybe someday things will be different.
Maybe someday things will change.
maybe I will have friends,
maybe, I'll have a best friend.

But I know my pondering thoughts
will be answered just as soon as
broccoli grows legs and runs around your plate,
or when toddlers actually enjoy time out.

I guess for now,
against my highest hopes,
I'll have to deal with being just
a voice in the dark, calling out for your help.

Just calling for you to pull me up
off
the
ground.
