“Unveiling Secrets: What Lies Beneath the Surface of Megan Jamie’s Poignant Poem”
And you fear being alone for
You think the loneliness could engulf you,
Entrench you.
Pin you to the floor and sit on your chest.
But you’re aware now.
You know the feeling
And can feel it coming.
Over the years you’ve built up your defenses,
Prepared to attack when needed.
You’re hurt?
Not anymore – you feel nothing.
You’re sad?
Not anymore – you are numb.
You’re lonely?
Not anymore – you’ve drowned out the silence.
They didn’t tell you how cruel life is to those who
Are cruel to themselves.
