I am alone.
I have been for a long time.
I don’t know what friendships are like anymore.
I am alone
with all these ghosts of my past!
Memories that I cannot tell were real or imagined.
I am alone
with no one to speak to who can relate!
No compatibility between the world and me.
I am alone
and it’s painful every day.
Traumatic it is sifting through these thoughts!
I am alone,
learning to be lonely,
living a so-called life of loneliness!
Well I can’t say I relate exactly because I’ve always enjoyed more alone time than the average person, but there’s definitely a point where it isn’t what you want or need anymore. There is some value in learning to be by yourself but it’s still not always fun. I liked the repetition, really helped drive the point home.
You could have wrote that about me. So relatable! Awesome!!!
On that note, maybe we should collaborate! 😊
Great write Daniel
I’m alone most of the time but seldom lonely.Lots of people fill their days but are still incredibly lonely.You can’t run from loneliness so best bet is just to make friends with it…works for me.
I guess loneliness is different for everyone.
Powerfully penned, Daniel. I can relate to this write my friend. I like being alone at times, but I’ve went spans without interaction when on a drinking bender, I started to unravel a little. It was a deep rabbit hole. Excellent work. Appreciate you.
