Challenge
How do you exactly perceive loneliness?
Write any type of writing (poems, short story, statements, etc) about how you feel about loneliness. How would you exactly describe this feeling of loneliness in your own words? Is it sickening? Punishing? Comforting? Is it exactly the same as being physically alone?
hollow nights
She listens to music
Plugged into her headphones
As if they're life support
She holds back
All the good
Cause she's scared
Of her bad side
Dead hours in the dark
And she's awake again
Tearing her own heart to shreds
She holds back
No one should hear
She doesn't know why
She can't reach out.
She wants to be held
She forgot what it felt like
Now being touched burns
She holds back
Because she's so close
To Falling in on herself
She doesn't want collateral
She rocks herself
Hums a lullaby
With hollow eyes, empty smiles
Tomorrow morning
she'll pick herself up again
