Notifications

By Charlie Z

I don’t want to be alone I keep checking my phone Expecting someone to text me When I look to see the notification screen All it says is “Sorry no one wants to talk to you” I have so much to say but can’t bring myself to say it My feelings flood my brain until I’m sick My heart pounds in my chest by just trying to approach someone My thoughts spin at the rejection before it even happens I don’t want to be alone I keep checking my phone Expecting someone to text me When I look to see the notification screen All it says is “You didn’t talk to anyone and now no one talks to you”
