Isolated- 4/14/82

I’m alone on another Saturday night while everyone around appears to be with someone else. I started out being the focus of everyone’s attention but as I moved out of my toddler years I guess the picture in the mirror exposed many of my cracks which were less then adorable. My confidence is shot as my family members and friends appear much to cool to stay in my crowd. There are the jocks, nerds, druggies and well dressed and then just me as I don’t fit in any category in my school picture. Isolated and alone these are my dorky teenage years.

FOOTNOTE- Did you experience this feeling during your teenage years or was this an isolation really only held by this mirror.
