/ l o n e l y /

i'm forcing words out just to fight the /lonely/ but it doesn't work nothing ever does not even twelve hours of sleep not even chocolates or sweets not even countless cat videos nothing ever does not even when i'm surrounded with people the /lonely/ doesn't leave company makes me more solitary lying in bed alone at ten in the morning feels the same as being with people but just faking happy heck the former is more comforting so tell me how do you heal this /lonely/ how do you break free from its chains i've been a captive for so long i don't even remember how to not be who even am i without the /lonely/ but these days i can't even function properly i'm sinking deeper deeper deeper words used to make me stay afloat but now they're just w o r d s and i can't find salvation anywhere so tell me how do you fight this /lonely/ tell me before it completely drowns me
