Loneliness.

I whisper to the air.

Empty vessels surround me when I walk busy streets.

I did not let loneliness happen.

I chose it.

---

Rejection.

I refuse to interact.

In a world of superficiality

My opinions are invalid.

I reject myself

Before others could.

---

Arrogance.

I am better than all of you.

I am older, I am wiser.

I know things that normal people do not.

At least that's what I tell myself.

I can never fit in with anyone.

Nobody I can share a piece of me with.

It's not that I wanted to, anyway.

---

Unison.

Bodies intertwined.

The celebration of fusion.

It confuses me, it contents me.

A fulfilling addiction.

I yearn for that.

I hunger for that.

---

Passion.

The heat and the pressure of body against body.

Caressing, exploring, devouring.

A beautiful mistake, a sinful satisfaction.

The immense desire for intimacy.

It is not right.

It is not wrong, either.

---

The sky.

I want to navigate there, somewhere.

To fly without limits.

To find a place for myself amidst the clouds.

Away from the earthly realities.

I don't belong in the ground.

---

Frustration.

I want to go back.

I don't belong here, where I am.

My life is long and mundane.

No one can accept me, I think.

I'm sure of it.

When they find out who I really am.

---

I'm telling the truth.

You do not know me.

I am not innocent.

I cannot be controlled.

I lurk around in the shadows I created.

Trapped in a sinful cage where I keep the key.

Forever.

You cannot reach me.

I belong to no one.

Life does not own me.

I'm, I'm a rebel.
