Solitude

I am solitude

Loneliness has become my comfort zone

Dealing with my thoughts & feelings alone.

Constantly confused between what I want and need.

What I’m doing isn’t healthy for my heart to feed.

I’m pushing others away

Even though I secretly want them to stay.

To be held & understood is what I desire

Withholding tears because I know they’ll ignite and start a rapid fire.

I hide my pain

Meanwhile my heart acquires more stains.
