Alone

It frightens me to admit it,
I tried to run away from the reality,
But the truth cannot be hidden for long,
I have realised that I am very alone.

Nobody calls back on the phone
Nobody is replying my texts
I have so many "friends" online
But they never seem to call me
Are they then fit to be called friends?
Indeed I am very much alone,
Wound up in my solitude
Comfortable in the silence
Yes, I am very much alone.

Loneliness: A horrible realty that only those who live with it can really understan, however there is a positive consequence - it gives us the opportunity to know ourselves. Very vivid truth my friend, Kudzai!
