Is it human to disconnect?
Is it human to have some detachment to the world and its people?
That’s the sense world has beaten into me,
You can’t be too sensitive or care too much,
You have to be practical and not be dumb enough to be taken advantage of.
It’s not they are wrong really,
The advice works, wonderfully in fact
Maybe that’s what brings in more pain,
Every connection has an inevitability,
It must end,
you must not get too vulnerable,
you must not get too attached,
Or you could perhaps,
and live a life of torment,
“Nothing human is alien to me”
But i feel the opposite really,
I feel alien and everytime i see people bond,
I feel like an outsider,
knowing in my 25 years of life,
I couldn’t feel that warmth,
Every time i get close i get scared,
And if not, it becomes a romantic entanglement,
Love has always been easier for me to find than friends,
Not to say i have been too successful at love,
But i can find more comfort in a romantic partner,
My body rejects any genuine friendships i think,
Or maybe it's just another lie to console myself,
and not accept my patterns,
I feel too terrible whenever i have to accept it,
I truly don’t see a point in friendships,
When you know there’s an end,
When you know there are boundaries,
It feels dishonest somehow,
despite knowing that’s not true.
I struggle too much allowing any true friendships to nurture,
I am aware that’s probably the root cause of my depression,
Not having people,
Always being and feeling alone,
Even when i have people,
never letting myself be vulnerable,
I know it will be the end of me,
Cold and too far away from anyone,
The only question is if life will decide my end or I will.
