words left unsent

loneliness

loneliness feels like a waste of my time

i feel irrational

and stupid

for feeling this way!

maybe a small part of my heart still needs people

despite all my talk of "independence"

and needing my space.

i still want to be wanted

care to be needed by others

but instead it seems i am the one craving the

presence of others

and it all becomes a little bit too much

when i am again left to my own thoughts

in loneliness.
