Doorbell

---

I hear the doorbell chime

Coming to answer, I hear many laughs

Longing to join this jovial bunch

I eagerly open the once-bolted door

---

"Hello! I'm here!" I cry out, excited

But no one seems to take any notice

"Where is she?" they ponder mockingly

Soon, they become impatient, and leave

---

And I'm still here, screaming my voice dead

Its miserable echoes are muffled by ignorance

As they skip on off in merriment

And abandon me in their absence
