The one that stands alone

In a room filled with smiles and happy faces, she stands alone, tired of being complacent.While the world around her quickly advances, she stands alone praying for 2nd and third chances. As she see the one's she loves move forward, she stands alone anxiously awaiting her moment.

Standing alone is something new and unfamiliar, for there once was a time where being alone was peculiar. Caps and gowns, degrees and tassels, she stood proudly amongst the crowd as she celebrated commencement. Her day of standing amongst the crowd ended just as quickly as it came. 365 days have gone by and the girl who stands alone has only herself to blame.

No career, no job, no chance at professional and financial advancement, the girl who stands alone feels like she's run out of chances. Smiles and words of comfort are said to the face of the girl who stands alone but behind her back those words turn into stone-As the one's she holds closets talk about bad about the overachieving girl who excelled all her life then graduated college and got lost on her plight.

She's been picked up only to be knocked right back to the ground. The girl who stands alone is a young queen merely in search of her crown.The more time passes by, the girl standing alone no longer asks why. Convinced that today's sorrows will be tomorrows testimony, the girl who stands alone takes pride in the fact that one day she'll find her way to her glory. Until that day comes, the girl who stands alone has a heart filled with peace, humility, and solace with the life everyone was too critical of to acknowledge.

Signed,

The lonely girl that's still standing.
