There is comfort in loneliness
It allows you time to think
Times of joy
And times of sorrow
My thoughts always seem to weigh me down
Like the world is on my shoulders
Lately the weight of the world is to hard to handle
I feel myself slipping again
To a place no one belongs
I ask myself will I do it this time
Will I finally let myself be at peace
Succumb to the sadness in my heart
Or finally learn to let it go
There is comfort in my loneliness
That I’m certain I have found
But it doesn’t help to fill the void inside of me
It seems nothing will
Not many understand how I truly feel
And I don’t think they ever will
It’s hard to breath
Like I’m at the bottom of the ocean
All alone
And no matter how loud I scream
I just can’t be heard
It’s hard being alone
It’s been like this from the start
Ever sense I can remember
I’ve fallen apart
I’m broken and bruised
For the world to see
I keep my thoughts inside where they can destroy me
And it hurts
It really does
But I feel that’s what’s best for me
To not be a burden to my friends And family
I’ve learned to be cold
To shelter my heart
Because anyone I let in breaks it apart
One thing I’ll never forget
Is that loneliness is my best friend
It never betrays me
And when that day shall come
It will have never left my side
I know it’ll welcome me
To it’s cold dark place
Where it’ll comfort me for the rest of time
