I Want To Be Alone

Alone
But I’m not
People love me
I know they do
But I want to be alone

Alone
With my thoughts
My emotions destroying
I let them dissolve hope
But I want to be alone

Alone
Surrounded by demons
Creatures of my past
Drowning me
But I want to be alone

Alone
Without their love
They can’t break me
If I hate them first
But I want to be alone

Alone
My nightmares are real
Where my fears are reality
I push them away
But I want to be alone

Alone
Hurt won’t happen
When they’re so far away
Their criticism breaks me
But I want to be alone

Alone
It’s safe
In a dark room
I’m so tired
But I want to be alone

Alone
In deadly silence
My own worries are reality
I feel so useless
But I want to be alone

Alone
I’ll trust them
Tomorrow, I’ll be different
I’ll need them
But, today, I want to be alone.  Thought Catalog Logo Mark
