Inherent Loneliness

By underthebelljar

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's just like a bulletLodged deep inside my chestThis feeling in the stateOf my unshakeable unrestThe inherent lonelinessOf existenceBecause only one heart can inhabit the bodySeems amplified in meAs I sit alone every nightWishing I was among thoseI look down upon when I'm frustrated and hurtI can't see it diminishing It snowballs every dayI wish I were as independent as I seemBut I need just like everyone elseThough they don't seeTyping these black words Onto this screen of lightThis is what I do every night Written November 1st, 2001 © on Nov 01 2001 02:40 PM PST   0 • 1
