I don't have a "him" or "her" to gawk and talk about
Nor do I have a vice or a vanity to pour.
I don't believe victims are mythical, and so, I do have one thing I can sing.
Loneliness is involuntary.
You can tell me that all it takes is "going out" and meeting people...
But say that same thing to Frankenstein.
Did you forget that all you need to lose that chance is to be devalued?
And must I remind you that ghosts aren't frequently seen?
A moth to a dragon has no existence, like the shadow to a flame upon a candlestick.
But that's not my point.
Solitary living is voluntary. Choosing to push people away, gathering only yourself and living your day...
But what about those who want people, yearn for romance, cry out at this shallow cold world for why they seek those who lie, cheat, **** and steal from them, but dismiss those who are more likely to remain honest, aid, save, and protect?
Loneliness is involuntary.
No one would beg to feel nonexistent unless you got to receive what we yearn for.
Solitary is voluntary.
To choose yourself, because you don't trust anyone else, even if you too can be your worst enemy.
Whether one will read this or not.
This came from my heart.
And it's a real discussion that people avoid.
Mental health is real and so is the stigma.
A shallow heart is easy to scare.
A deeply broken heart can shatter a world.
Why isolate someone because they may not physically appeal to you?
Whether it's because they're "strange" or "unattractive".
Isolation can break a soul...don't be the one to turn a blind eye.
Do you?
