Loneliness,
I feel that it's my life's greatest curse
No matter how hard I try,
I feel that it'll be with me till I die.

Transparent,
That's how I feel when I'm with my "friend".
I always attempt to make myself noticeable,
But I'll end up crying even harder.

All my actions have been in vain,
I find myself constantly in pain.
Now, it's constantly driving me insane,
Bringing me through an agonising lane.

I shouldn't accept such a lifestyle,
I shouldn't need friends to make me smile.
But who am I kidding? They're important.
With them comes along a feeling of acceptance.

This gives me the drive to keep trying my best,
After all, loneliness is no nest.
Escaping this abyss is the ultimate quest,
It'll be an assurance that I'm not a pest.

That being said, the journey is tedious,
Throughout it all I heard so far were jeers.
I kept stopping and thinking about it,
Should I waste more effort or take the easy way out and quit?

Now I'm truly lost,
Deciding if having friends is worth the dear cost.
I could stay lonely and live in peace,
Or go out there and challenge my inner beast.

Loneliness,
The torture is getting worse and worse.
But I've learnt to embrace it with the right attitude,
I've found a new word for it, "My Solitude".
