Lonely

Lonely That's a expression I'm conflicted with It's a word to describe, a feeling or state of mind in which a person feels they have- nobody to confide in, nobody to stand beside, nobody to tell what's on their mind, and what am I? Am I really lonely When I have all these people around me, when I Open and close my eyes? Am I really lonely, When I have somebody to confide in, somebody to stand beside, somebody to tell what's on my mind? Empty Even around the people I love I feel like I'm sinking; suffocating There is an emptiness in my chest With the pains of all the rest I feel I cannot rid myself of this pest Loneliness; Is this the feeling?

Notes

I wrote this poem to try my best to express how I feel almost daily. I can be around my best friends, and yet, I still feel so empty. I've heard people say that you can't really be lonely when you have people to talk to, people to trust, or people to hang out with. But here I am, still feeling lonely no matter who I'm around. The feeling is suffocating almost, as if it is slowly submerging me in it like its a pool of water.
