Perpetual loneliness Likely the fault of comparison Haunts And haunts And haunts me I can't even remember what it was like Before I felt so alone Maybe it's the same feeling And I mischaracterize it Maybe I overthink my relationships Far too much In fact I must be I FaceTime my "family" every night I went to a sleepover this weekend I saw a movie with friends as well So why do I feel so isolated? Why do I feel so unloved? What does it feel like to be loved? Even when I don't want to talk I feel the need to text people To fulfill my ideals of a "social" person I don't form close bonds Because I'm so focused on finding enough friends Enough people to laugh with So I feel like a success I wonder if I am ill This is starting to sound compulsive
