I Thrive Alone by Alexandra Deianira (California, 21)

I scream into the winds yet no-one hears me
though even when i whisper they still don’t listen
i try to meld into what is expected
time has proven that it’s not me
when they think i cannot hear
words of frigid or bitter
yet i don't conform
by no chance
i thrive
alone.
