what is loneliness?
loneliness is existing so independently that even in a room full of people or a crowd of a million, you can't help but feel invisible.
loneliness is crying yourself to sleep.
loneliness is wiping your own tears away.
loneliness is washing your face in hopes that no one will notice that you've cried.
loneliness is telling people you're fine as if it were an instinct because no one can know you're hurting.
loneliness is losing yourself in art to ease the pain.
loneliness is seeing pictures of yourself smiling and knowing that it was only a facade.
loneliness is hugging yourself because no one else will.
loneliness is spending a long time under the hot, scalding shower because it feels a bit better.
loneliness is spending hours on your phone to keep your mind busy.
loneliness is talking to yourself because no one else will listen.
loneliness is looking up at the sky and wondering why? why you?
loneliness is being a good person, but never getting rewarded for it.
loneliness is like sitting in a sinkhole and screaming without a sound for someone to pull you out.
loneliness is knowing you don't deserve this pain, but never knowing how to stop it.
loneliness is so painful that it sears through your heart and rushes through your veins like a drug that slowly kills you and no one around you ever notices because you've always been invisible.
and then one day, you don't get your fairytale ending and the pain doesn't fade away so you close your eyes, take a deep breath, and scream until you break into two.
because, sometimes, loneliness is the only friend who will always be there for you.
