Self Imposed Solitude
By Lylani
The sky is not falling
But everyone's screaming
Cowering in fear
Sunny days fill with storm clouds
Flat roads turn to mountains
With treacherous decisions
None can be right
But believe me,
The struggle is worth the vista
Staring at our own shoes
Too scared of failure to take a step
Instead build walls
Shutter the windows
Forget we are loved until we need to ask a favour
Then cry out that no-one cares
I hear you
Mine are not the right ears
But I am here for you
So we look to the sky
But the stars are throwing knives
Bleeding hearts fall on butchers slabs
Self pity like maggots will find its wings
Lift you to new heights of loneliness
But this is no destiny
This is choice
Bowing to foes
Accepting lies as truth to fuel insecurities
As bitter words come with greater ease than kindness
But you are stronger than you know
Just give yourself a chance
We are all falling, all failing
Screaming in the dead of night
I will never feel the weight of your woes as you do
Just as you will never know mine
But my hand is here for you to hold
Don't think that you are alone
I will always be your friend
