SILENCE!🤫 shhhh......let your smile fade into the deafening silence.
Trapped in the jaws of boredom and bruised by the fangs of low expectations.
Living in circles and surviving by thoughts of possibilities and inevitabilities.
Flashes of the past coming back to you uninvited, over and over again.
Bringing back what was forgotten, the feelings long buried.
I am the true definition of emptiness but you can refer to me as Loneliness.
I see you through the blinding screens and crippling scenes;
Immersed in the amusement of the puppy videos and blasting radios.
Lost in a world you created on your own, in the joys of your phone.
You try to mask and ignore my presence by chuckling at fantasies created in your head.
You lack someone to turn to, so you build an image from what you read.
But alas; knock knock! I'm knocking at your door.
Don't resist, just let me walk your floor.
I promise, you are not my first, I will try my best;
To be your greatest companion, you need forget the rest.
You lack a hand to give a high five, a friend to let you stop by.
That's why I come crawling before my partner Depression kicks in.
What I like most about humankind, you have the gift of one-another.
But when you refuse this oh so precious gift, your isolation calls out my name for solace.
You need the company, don't deny it, quit postponing.
Find yourself someone who's worth it, someone to selfishly hold on to.
And just like that, poof! I guarantee I'll be gone;
Problem solved, psychological peace restored.
