PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It's so ironic how you hate feeling lonely
but can't bring yourself
to be around people either.

That is the story of my life.

On one hand, I get tired
of my own company;
I don't want to hear
my thoughts anymore.

I want so desperately
to be close to others,
to know acceptance.

But fear keeps me alone;
it traps me behind these four walls.

It confines me to my own head
where I beat myself up more
than anyone else ever could.

This is my lot in my life;
this is how it's always been
and how it will always be.
