isolation just me in my own world creating perfectly impossible scenarios it’s not loneliness it’s getting lost in my own mind and getting tangled in the beautiful mess that makes up who i am my brain transforms into a galaxy of swirling blue and purple with the brightest moments shining like stars i remove myself from reality and let my spirit drift off into the ideal universe i have created that wonderful boy stares into my face so intensely i feel like it’s melting our hands are intertwined he draws me closer until there is no space between the two of us and we are breathing the same air our chests rise and fall in unison it’s as if our bodies are one like a cell and we never want to split and our love is like the mitochondria because it’s power keeps us living and living on and on and… isolation i remove myself from the deepest parts of my mind and become familiar with my normal surroundings reality doesn’t ****, but this perfect world i have created inside my mind makes me feel free from the polluted minds of people in this society so i isolate isolate myself from fake friends who hide behind a mask of smiles and empty conversations and only remove it when my back is turned so they can see where to shove the knife isolate myself from the boy who i’m madly in love with, but had broken me because “it wasn’t me it was him” and now i’m just another passing face in the hallway isolate myself from the men who now see me as fresh meat and my personality and interests and who i am are just the appetizer and all they want is to peel off the wrapper and devour the main course just to throw away the leftovers sometimes i just need to escape I’m not lonely I’m a dreamer and to dream you need isolation
This is my first poem that I felt proud of...I was going through an awful time in my life, and poetry was the way I dealt with my issues in a healthy way. The love of my life dumped me, my friends all left, and men saw me as a piece of meat back on the market. I know we all have felt this way in some way or another. I hope we all can realize that we do not need isolate, but we can find our people and be happy in this world. Enjoy.
