Loneliness is a dark cloud, a cold wind, a heavy weight, a silent scream

An emotion that I hate

By Simon AbiloguPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Loneliness is a dark cloud

That hangs over my head

It blocks the sun and casts a shadow

It fills me with dread

Loneliness is a cold wind

That blows through my soul

It chills my bones and makes me shiver

It leaves me feeling hollow

Loneliness is a heavy weight

That presses on my chest

It crushes my lungs and makes me gasp

It robs me of my rest

Loneliness is a silent scream

That echoes in my mind

It deafens my ears and drowns my voice

It makes me feel blind

Loneliness is a dark cloud, a cold wind, a heavy weight, a silent scream

It is an emotion that I hate

But it is also a metaphor that I create

And I can change it with a different state
