AT WAR WITH LONELINESS

I’m at war with Introversion.
I’m at war with Extraversion.

I’m tired of Being Alone.
I tire when I’m with others.

My soul yearns for laughter
But no longer hears its voice.

I dream of Distant Destinations
But can’t get out of the house.

I long for deep conversations
With words hoarse from disuse.

My body begs to be held,
But flinches at your touch.

I’m desperate to Hide,
But pray I’ll soon be Found.
