No matter your age or abilities or situation
Loneliness is
it just is
It ebbs and flows
you can be the happiest busiest person
and still be lonely
feel lonesome
feel so alone in the midst of a busy room
be alone in a crowd
feel empty
Loneliness
is an emptiness
it is tears escaping for no apparent reason
it is a void
a blackness
abandonment
Loneliness can begin
through no fault of your own
from grief
loss
estrangement
abuse
physical proximity
social isolation
emotional isolation
feeling different
feeling unacceptable
feeling misunderstood
removing yourself in your head because it hurts
removing yourself before it hurts again
self protection
not allowing anyone in
building barriers
closing people out
Loneliness
can be just there but you don’t know
until you do
