In the beginning,

So lonely was she

Worried she was the last girl standing

Who refused to be overtaken

By irresponsibility

Though she took pride in it

She really wondered

How it would be

To be alone once again

She then concluded

She was created to be lonely

Speaking to herself

Muttering words of encouragement

She seldom spoke to them

Though they all resided together

She lived her life alone

She spoke to herself alone

All of a sudden

A word of encouragement dropped in her heart

To save her from all worries

Of the attitude of her roommates towards her

“rejoice ever more” it said

Deeply inspired,

Letting go off her worries

And beginning to face her studies

She avoided their company and presence

So as to feel at ease

It was then

She became stronger

And made herself happy

Talking to her bed and clothes gave joy and pleasure

Which I did not derive

from talking to those around her

She was mocked before her face

Behind her back

She became the subject matter of the gossip

But she held on to a principle

“Silence is the best answer for a fool”

Through it all

Though she was uncomfortable

Her closing statement became

“I never really cared”

Despite all things said and done

But from her reaction

She proved

Delighted in herself

That she never really cared

Her words became

“I never really cared

About what they thought of me

I never really cared

about what they said about me”
