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.
