Loneliness
Loneliness envelopes me.
I feel there's noone here.
I've got such pain and sorrow,
But why is not very clear.
Although others reach out,
I don't often reach back.
Rather I struggle alone
To fight my own attack.
I'm scared noone will understand,
Or that they'll judge in haste.
Talking to other people
Seems to me a waste.
When I start to open up,
I seem to say too much.
Then that other person
Becomes to me a crutch.
So, I'd rather go it on my own
Than become too attached,
For it only makes life harder
When I have to become unlatched.
So, what do I do
When I truly need someone there?
Do I continue on my own
Or allow someone else to care?
What I need to do
Is find that middle ground.
When I finally reach it,
Peace with self can be found.
