To me, it is so
strange
to see so many declarations of
loneliness,
yet
despite this similarity,
we cannot erase the
loneliness
in each other.

Nancy

Nancy:
the older sister.
I went to you to
escape
the speculation
and the drama
and the problems.

Now my only problem is:
you gave me
such a good
escape route,
I find it difficult to return.

the dilemma

Sometimes
I question whether
I made the right decision
saying no.
Was I refusing for
myself,
or for everyone around
me?

windy afternoon

As the wind pounds
the window
that does not shut,
thuds and clatters fill the air;
violently
knocking the breath out of it
with its own.
Much like you
To me.

writer

I don't know you,
but your words
speak to me
like no words
have before.
I wish I knew you.

sometimes, the road travelled alone is the road preferred

why am i
so alone
in the midst of
attempted inclusion?

and why
am i
satisfied by it?

please
leave me

alone

[wasted] time

for every day
i lay in bed
missing
my family
my friends
my home

i reflect on this
time and
think
about the
journeys
i could have taken

tomorrow
i start again
