Island Of Isolation:

To find comfort in your own loneliness 

Is a skill many can't grasp

But to feel loneliness in a crowd

Where you used to belong

Is a heavy burden at task 

To feel ignored 

In the room of people you wanted most

Questioning flaws,

Temper rising,

Minds conniving 

You only care when you think I'm leaving,

Just out of reach.

Will it matter?

Because this is something you'll never be reading

And stability is the thing I'm needing.

An island of isolation,

Drifting into a sea with no floatation 

Watch me drown

From the shore.

~J.K.M


Efforts Unwanted:


I tire of trying

Where my efforts are unseen

Trying to feel for people

When you cried the moment I tried to leave.

How many times

Do I have to do the same song and dance

Like a fucking monkey on command

Slap a smile on your dile

Because your goddamn suicidal 

Tendencies are regarded as too much,

Seek help because we don't care enough

To bother spending time

Trying to listen to your state of mind.

The need for space sets in,

Like an ocean of detachment in-between

And I'm finding that

Each time I leave

It's harder to come back.

~J.K.M
