Do You See Me?
Do you see me? I’m the one standing alone wishing someone would come up and talk to me. I’m the one standing on the peripheral; listening, but not participating. I’m the one who is always smiling, but inwardly I am as lonely as I can be. I need friends. I want friends. I am awkward, maybe even an introvert, but I still need someone. My insides are screaming, “Please, be my friend.” Do you know what kind of friend I need? I need someone with whom to laugh. How often have you heard, “Laughter if the best medicine for the soul” or “Laughter is good for the soul”? I want someone to be around who will bring me joy. I also need a friend I can trust. Someone with whom I can share my secrets without being judged.
