Alone

I finally figured out
what was wrong with me.
But how do I change that
without changing me?

I used to love being alone
because sometimes
I needed me-time.
Now I feel alone
even with people around me.

Like I'm just there; existing.
My mind is exhausted,
I can't get any sleep;
even when I sleep
it's never enough.

I feel like I annoy everyone,
that when I speak,
it bothers them.
And I get that
since I annoy myself too.

I used to be my happy place;
my safe space.
What happened?
How did nothing change
while I changed the most?

A book is the only thing
that keeps my mind clear.
But I can't always read books,
I have a life to live.
If I could just skip moments.

My head tricks me into reading
people's mimics wrong.
They don't all hate me;
I know that.
I misinterpret everything
and that's how everything starts.

It's like my mind
is being controlled
but not by me.
Like somebody is constantly watching,
controlling and judging
what I do.

I'm burnt out;
just exhausted.
It annoys me that I feel like this.

I'm a happy person;
I always laugh.
I love being with people
but since they don't,
I lost the will too.

I can't describe this feeling,
I am just alone and empty.
