Being alone is a forced habit
Isolation, my personal favorite
I eat regrets for breakfast
I am a no one, I’m an outcast
Being alone is a daily routine
I follow the norm just so I can fit in
Pushed, ignored, and forgotten
I am nothing, I’m forsaken
Everywhere I go there is a boundary
A limit which keeps me trapped and lonely
A measure depriving me of leisure and fun
A knowing that I am nobody, nothing, no one
They are blinded and I am invisible
From the others, so much severable
Not only do they fail to see
My scorned yet beating identity
But also the truth behind my secrecy
The truth witnessed by nobody
I am nothing, no one.
