Thinking old

I feel like my body is dieing and my inner soul
Inwardly is crying.

I reach out in dispair just for comfort but no one
Is there.

I try to convince myself that I am alright
But I'm in denial and my chest is tight.

Tight with loneliness tight with being alone and
Alive I have to beat this I can't as I have tried.

Longing for company just for a chat who am I
Kidding there is no chance of that.

I might go outside its raining and cold I'm not
Being unsocial it's because I am old.
