Loneliness
I never thought I'd fear you,
But here you are,
Seeping into my sanity,
Turning silence into screams.
Happiness drifts like a feather in the wind,
Sorrow settles like a stone in my chest.
Hurting myself doesnât seem so bad,
Running away whispers in my mind.
These thoughts consume me,
I long to escape.
Maybe if I faded into the duskâ
No.
I want happiness,
But where does it hide?
I seek peace,
Yet it slips through my fingers.
I crave friendship,
But every smile feels hollow.
So I turn to God,
The only one who never leaves.
Mankind?
A mask of kindness, hiding a heart of stone.
