My loneliness is like a hole.
The suffocation of reality digs it deeper
and deeper.
I search for dirt to fill it
but I just keep falling.
The ground collapses
just as I start to walk away.
I fall into a tunnel of darkness.
Alone.
Always Alone.

My friends, my family, my peers,
they look down the hole where I lay.
But no one sees me there.
They are oblivious to me.
Oblivious that I'm trapped.
Oblivious that I'm afraid.
Unaware of me screaming their names.
I am alone.
