Self-Isolated
November 4, 2018
I know not what I felt like I needed nor what I wanted
I thought what I wanted was appreciation
I pushed for respect
And it made me disconnect
I shut every emotion from my life
But when you shut out emotions, you also shut out people
I had never felt so alone

This is amazing and very relatable... I love you and your work. Keep doing what you are doing!
My name is Makaela, I felt really alone for a while and as if I wasn't appreciated by those around me. I shut out the people in my life that I really care about, including myself.
