Oh Loneliness!

[IWantToGoFast]

Oh loneliness, you're with me always,
A friend I never asked for,
To the end of my days,
And not a second before,

You're whispering in my mind,
Emptiness, darkness nothing sweet,
Everyone is left behind,
Me above all in a pit of need!

I always wondered how it would have been?
To have five friends like the philosopher said,
Me to be happy and always keen,
Not lonely, empty and full of dread!

Inspired by @Satanist thread earlier.

I won't be surprised if I die of a stress related disease or just drop dead on the sidewalks. My heart and body just can't take it anymore.

Thank you for writing this dark and tragic poem that perfectly describes what most of us feel, especially during this pandemic. I hope many people can see how talented you are. You should share these on Tumblr or IG.
Turns out we have a friend named Loneliness, after all. Always there for us.

I feel lonely in my head, alone and believe I die alone, I have a plan but it requires more push. All I want is peace. I don't want to be alone but it's hard trying to be ok when you are not ok.

I've accepted that I'll always be alone. I push everyone away. I have no one left now.

Still struggling with loneliness. I will die alone, and I can bet my life on it. I feel physically sick when I see couples, and think, "Of course a girl like that would never want me". I hate being in public where there are girls everywhere. Makes me want to die right there.

Desire for things we can not have leads to suffering, suffering leads to the dark side.

Loneliness can be a painful feeling and send us into despair. Rather than lacking connection to others, as I choose to isolate myself, my loneliness is a deep empty feeling, I feel trapped with my own thoughts and it is a part of me.
You are very talented at writing, by the way.

Aristotle said that if you had 5 good friends in life then you had a wonderful life and should consider yourself lucky.
