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.
