The despair consumes me as I'm all alone.
The hurt I've buried deep inside devours me while I'm alone.
No matter who's around, I always am alone.
The panic eats me up as I'm alone.
The fear devours me while I'm alone.
There are too many people around but I'm still alone.
The depression fills me up as I'm alone.
The sadness comforts me while I'm alone.
The unhappiness helps me to not feel like I'm alone.

I've had writer's block for a while now because I have been in a depressive episode from my bipolar disorder. Writing this was hard but I assumed it would help my feelings to get it out into words somehow.
