"Every day at school, during the lunch break,

I see students sitting in pairs and groups.

And me?

Somewhere in a corner of the ground,

I sit alone and have my lunch.

Alone. All alone."

"Thinking alone, regretting alone, crying alone,

And healing alone

Will create a version of you

You never imagined.

Even if it takes time to build that version,

Trust me —

You will have the strength

To face the toughest battles in this world."

These lines ... I understand your pain very well. In school I was same and at present I am just what you described in last few lines.

And yes I know how LONELY it feels when you desperately need someone to share something...a good news, a bade news, a success, a failure but it's more hard when your parents are not around too and you're stay with your in laws and when you pick up the phone and scroll the whole contact list atleast twice and still find no one to talk to. And yes you don't want to burden your bestie everytime.

So yes I know very well the pain you described.
