i learn every day that i don't like to be alone.


sometimes silence becomes too unbearable,

movies and shows fuel me with jealousy for what i can't have,

and music takes over too much of my emptiness.


i bury myself in the comfort of fictional stories,

other people's perfect lives and busy plans,

and i will my own heartbreak to pass,

i try and forget that i am lonely.


but it is hard to forget that i am alone.

social media is a gallery of hopeful people,

a collection of memories that have been made together.


the places that i go to feel less alone,

are also the places that remind me that i am.


i don't like to be alone,

but i must learn to bear it.
