Might It Be Better?

Might It Be Better?

Might it be better to be alone forever?

As I lie alone tonight 

I think about all the times we held each other

 side by side

Wouldn't it be better to be alone forever?

All these thoughts are running around my head 

and I cant seem to get away.

This uphill battle has left me in shackles 

and I'm sure it would be better

So much better 

to be alone forever 

For the ones I loved have slipped away 

and I'm left to face these inner demons

these sort of feelings I cant seem to escape

The harder I try 

the closer they get.

So I fall and fall into the abyss of 

depression and anxiety and the fear

the fear is overwhelming.

As the darkness starts to suffocate me 

I believe

Yes I believe 

Its so much better to be alone

 forever.

Love is a b***h and it causes us great pain as you described in your poem. I think did a great job describing how it affects our psyche with depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, we all need a love and no matter how alone we might want to be our soul eventually will seek that lover. Love this poem. N.

~This sounds like a familiar tune I sang when I was younger. To be locked away from troubles sounds great but in real life it doesn't work. I wish it did, than we could all avoid stress. Your poem is very much valid though because you express what's inside you in a way I and probably others can relate to.~

You have a good point. Life would be so much easier but we cant run away from our problems. Thanks it helps, in a weird way, to know I'm not the only one that feels this way.

My dear, every state in the country has people that feel this way. You spoke for more than you can imagine. :)
