Isolation

Isolation

Life is a series of obstacles,

some easy to overcome

some which might seem just impossible to get past

Problems fill your mind,

cause you to focus on nothing else.

Questions.

Questions like “What’s wrong with you?” and “Are you ok?” become a part of your day,

people trying to get you to open up,

but you’re just trying to get away

Things you used to love become a dread,

laying in bed is all you want to do.

The demons of darkness cause you to do nothing but

overthink things that are no longer important

Tears linger

but you’re just too stubborn to realize that something’s wrong.

You don’t remember what it’s like to be happy,

you forgot what it’s like to laugh.

All you’re tempted to do is reminisce the past

and wish that things occurred differently.

Peace within yourself seems impossible,

hopelessness becomes your best friend.
