Alone :: chocolatechika :: Original Poetry

Alone

As love leaves, pain settles

Chilling me down to my bones

People are crying out to me

But I can only hear my own

My friends do not see because my face is hidden

My family is so consumed with their own lives

Opening up to anyone leaves me petrified

I wish I could leave this world behind

Keeping myself hidden from my feelings inside

Why can’t these emotions leave my body

Or just disappear from this world entirely

Coping with these feelings would tear me down

But keeping them bottled up keeps me content for right now

Surely someone would recognize what’s going on

But for right now, I’m just all alone
