Hey guys! So this is the first post of 2021! Happy New Years! Hope you enjoy!
Darkness flows through my mind
I try to run and hide.
But it's there eating at me in the dark.
It doesn't stop it from tearing me apart.
Loneliness eats at me within.
Nothing was ever here to begin.
It takes away every last breath.
It has me begging for death.
It will starve you of love and affection.
It's the only one two listens to your confessions
I try to live normally in peace.
But the loneliness will never cease.
It is there lurking in the dark.
How long until I am back at the start?
I cannot run, I cannot hide.
It cannot be stopped this time.
Loneliness suffocates your very soul.
Leaving you to rot all alone.
It will tear your mind to bits.
And drop you in the deepest of pits.
There are no words to describe lonely.
There is only one solely.
The closest you can come is despair.
It will have you yanking and pulling out your hair.
Loneliness is like being at the bottom of the sea.
There is no light and no air to breathe.
Opening and closing your mouth gasping for breath.
Thrashing and drowning to your death.
Weight pushes down on you all at once.
This is the moment you realize you are stuck.
It's the weight of the loneliness, reminding you it's there.
It will never leave your side in your times of despair.
You may try to flee at all costs.
But it is drawn to you like a flame draws a moth.
It feels the pain you try to hide.
It feels everything you feel inside.
Loneliness is a symptom of depression.
But it seems to be a symptom of oppression.
You can try to fight it on all fronts.
But in the end you will be the one that lost.
Loneliness is buried so deep in your soul.
It will forever make you feel like a black hole.
Sucking up all the life in your path.
Making the whole world feel your empty wrath.
There's a hole where your soul should be.
It is the effect of being lonely.
