“I hate when I can't control my loneliness”

“When clouds of pain loom in the sky
When a shadow of sadness flickers by
When a tear finds its way to the eye
When fear keeps the loneliness alive
I try and console my heart
Why is it that you cry? I ask
This is only what life imparts
These deep silences within
Have been handed out to all by time
Everyone’s story has a little sorrow
Everyone’s share has a little sunshine
No need for water in your eyes
Every moment can be a new life
Why do you let them pass you by?
Oh heart, why is it that you cry?”

“Silenced by the world, I stand alone,
My voice unheard, my thoughts unknown.
The pain inside, it cuts so deep,
A wound that's raw, that cannot sleep.
The silence is the most painful part,
It tears at me, it breaks my heart.
I scream inside, but no one hears,
I'm lost in darkness, consumed by fears.
The world moves on, but I stand still,
A prisoner of my own free will.
I long to speak, to make a sound,
But silence reigns, and I am bound.
The pain is real, it's all I know,
A never-ending, endless woe,
I can't speak, I can't fight.
It's painfully poetic
how this heart has been silenced.”

“In the quiet of my hollow existence, I yearn for solitude’s tender embrace. Let the world fade like autumn leaves, their voices mere whispers in the wind. Amid forgotten corners, silence echoes my pain. Sunsets weep, staining the sky with sorrow, as I tread the path of sadness. My fragile heart harbors no anger—only a desperate plea: “Leave me alone, leave me alone.”
