Prom

Prom
Was announced today.
I know that I won’t get
Asked.
I know that
Boys don’t notice
Me.
They see me.
But that
     Is
       Nothing.
I am all but visible.
I am
     Invisible.
I sit in class
As the seniors
     Discuss
          What
               They
                    Are
                         Going
                              To
                                 Wear,
And the fact that
     They
          Feel
               Bad
                    For
                         Those
                              Who
                                   Won’t
                                        Be
                                           Asked.
I shrink
Down
And hide,
Knowing that
I am
One of
Those girls.
One of the ones who
Will be on her own
That night.

Knowing

I

Am

Alone.
