My Loneliness

March 5, 2024

Yes, I may say I am lonely 

And then go to my room

I like to be alone

The lonely I am saying is different

No one ever understands me


Is it that hard to get it

Even when I said I was lonely

You assumed and didn’t understand

When I explained you still didn’t know

I try to express my feelings


Nothing will get better with your overwhelming assumptions

Once I tell you, my fuels inside begin to rise

Nothing gets better, it all gets worse

Can’t you just try?

Try to understand


And hey, I’m sorry that I feel lonely

because the only person who understands me, is me

I’m sorry that I have explained to you a million times

I’m sorry that ‘loneliness’ means more than just one thing

I’m sorry that I’m trying to fix my feelings

I’m sorry that me being lonely is just 

too much for you to get through your mind

My parents don't understand me much, so this is how I feel. I felt like I needed to write about it.
