The Loneliness

My life feels like a dark room,

no light is getting in.

The shades are painted shut

and the walls are closing in.

The floor is made of quicksand.

The ceiling’s falling down.

I try, but I can’t seem to pick myself up off the ground.

The pictures turn to ashes.

The mirrors change my face.

The doors keep slamming anytime I try to leave this place.

I call, but no one hears me.

I scream, but no one’s there.

This is how my life is,

no one said it would be fair.

I can identify with this write, Clara. From time to time I go to that room. You probably think no one understands or cares but I do. Never hesitate to soup mail me, I'll always talk to you and try to help you find the door. Great write!!!
