*I stand alone at the top of the hill*1
*I stand alone, I stand still*2
The sun shines on my face, as I look out to the glittering sea, the grass beneath my feet. 3
What did I do wrong?4
*I stand, alone, along the road*5
*Unwilling, unable, to go home*6
All I asked for was a chance. A chance to prove what I was worth, what I could do. They threw it all back right at me. 7
Why did I walk away from them?8
*I stand, alone, hiding here*9
*Wiping away the final tear*10
At first they laughed. Then they mocked. Then it turned nasty. The names. The words. Like needles in my eyes. Small, but the hurt all the same. I couldn't bear it. I turned and ran.11
Why was I such a coward?12
*I stand, alone, with no real place to hide*13
*From the overwhelming pain building inside*14
Maybe I couldn't stand the fact that they were right. Maybe, I couldn't win the fight, because I didn't have a side to argue. Maybe. Maybe.15
So what do I do now?16
*I stand, alone, up here, up high*17
*Staring straight ahead into the endless sky*18
The rain patters on my face, like the tears that refuse to flow. This is the end, I have nowhere else to go...19
*I stand, alone, above them all*20
*Coming down to their level, last step forward, to f. . . *21
Farewell22

Author notes
Combination of poetry and monologue, had many poetic lines but not enough to tell a story so I included some narrative.
What did you think? Please comment!

wow.
this is amazing!
it is a very unique form of writing too...well,i assume it is because i have never seen something like this done before.
i really like the way you combined a narative to a poem, it gave us insight into the characters feelings, yet at the same time, was very poetic and had a great flow.
this was a really great job, i enjoyed it
