The Moment I Knew It Was Over MAG
I can remember there being sun – enough to cast long shadows on the cement. The sky was a crisp, clear blue, contrasting beautifully with the circling crows, searching for discarded scraps of food.
Like the crows, I circled. Around and around, then under the play structures, just in case. The people I ate lunch with liked to hang out on the play structures. I knew I was welcome to join them, if I asked.
I just hoped they’d ask.
I just hoped they’d notice me.
They didn’t notice.
There were shrieks of laughter, cries of joy – friends, happiness.
But I didn’t get that.
I was alone.
And that’s when I knew it was over …
And that I had to start again.

I'm not sure how to categorize this piece. It could be poetry but it decided not to be, so I put it in "Personal Experience", though I don't think it quite fits there.
