I'm trapped.
Stuck.
Stranded.
Isolated.
Confined.
Imprisoned.
Held captive to my own mind,
and unfortunately I feel as though
I can't reach for anyone.
I long for human connection
and empathetic conversations.
I long for someone to make me
smile, laugh, and love.
For someone to ease
the feelings
of loneliness, pain, and despair.
Someone to cherish.

Dreams are often interpreted as lovely and fantastic,
but what some seem to forget is that nightmares,
as scary as they may be, are also dreams.
Those types of dreams are not lovely or fantastic,
hence the name: Nightmares.

Life is often interpreted as wild and exciting,
but what some seem to forget is that Staying Alive,
as agonizing as it may be, is also life.
That type of life is not exciting or fun,
but it's also: Life.
"Get a life" "Live it up!"

"Dream on" "Sweet dreams"

When I was younger
I'd have never thought
that life could be this cruel;
However, as I've grown older
I've realized many key facts,
one of which being that,
it seems to have
just as many joys as it has sorrows.

There's this feeling I get
And it's one you can't really hide away
It's not love, envy, or sadness
Nor is it happy, rage or fear
It's when you feel as though...
you have millions of tiny spiders
crawling over every inch of your body.
It's not fear, it's a never-ending terror.

I've wished nothing more
than to have someone to love
for my own.
