Loneliness


Not many people have experienced true loneliness

It comes with the feeling of hopelessness

And makes you feel completely empty inside

It will make you want to curl up in a corner

And never have to face the world again

Fearing that it will continue for the rest of your life

You feel that no one cares

And that nothing you can do can change that

It makes you feel that your life isn’t worth living

And you question why you are alive

Loneliness is a disease

It eats away at you slowly

And if it isn’t cured in time

You will most likely give up on life

I started writing poetry when I was in 6th grade. I write poetry as a way to release emotions. If you read my poetry and think I am depressed, realize that I write poetry to keep myself from becoming depressed. When I write a poem, those emotions no longer remain pent up inside of me. I am a genuinely happy person :)
