Alone.
Boxed inside the walls of my own little world. Trapped inside my mind. It's been this way for so long, it's become part of me. I hardly feel the pain anymore. Everyday is the same; a painfully bland routine. Full of fear.
I'm still alive, although sometimes I'm not so sure. My heart's still beating, but oh so mechanically. It ticks like clockwork, the same way day in and day out. Ticking...Ticking...Ticking...
It beats for me and for me alone. There's no one else around for it to beat for anyway. No family -- my parents and sister were killed in an accident. And no friends -- I push everyone I meet away, never letting them into my little world. I can't trust them.
I've heard it so many times -- "you should find friends". They all say that. I've heard it time and time again that life is too short to spend alone. But I don't care what they all say. I'm too afraid to listen to them.
It's as if I'm living inside glass. Some sort of protective case. I'm locked inside, being tortured by my own thoughts. My glass surrounding in unbreakable. No can get inside to help me because I don't let them. It's safer that way. Because I'm scared that if I let them break down my surrounding, then they would have the chance to break me.
It's been this way for as long as I can remember.
My name is Serenity. Which means peaceful. But my mono-tone personality does not all match the screaming inside my head. I'm tired of it. Tired of it all.
Life drags me along with it from morning when I wake to night when I fall asleep.
I'm stuck inside my own little world with no one to keep me company but my mecanical heart.
