Loneliness
I hate being alone with myself
Some people might say that
Being alone affords one the "me" time
That is so important for personal growth
My "me" time is very destructive on my mind and body
It just reminds me of how my life has been
Turned upside down, destroyed by the very people
I've entrusted my heart, soul, and mind to
Loneliness is my silent killer...
It eats away at my mind,
Causing me to revisit the past experiences
That have shaped me to be the person I am today
Loneliness is a depressant.
It makes me aware of the things I have missed out on,
And the things I am missing
Loneliness causes me to make desperate, destructive decisions
Loneliness creates in me hate, anxiety, distrust, numbness of life...
Loneliness is a silent killer
If you truly have it out for me,
If you want to destroy me...
Leave me... "ALONE".
Yes, you'll get the best of me,
You can stand back and laugh at my crumbling fall.
Loneliness is a silent killer
An assassin of the mind
A murderous beast
I hate being alone with myself
