The Dangers of Isolationism
You’re vibrant
The color of yellow
You smile and laugh every day
You are thriving
But before you know it
Swoosh
You are dark and blue
You only wear frown’s
Your realm is falling apart
And you’re sitting alone at the lunch table
Eating away the feelings
You only say words when requested
Because you have nothing else to say
You have lonely nights and lonely days
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
That is all you are
That is all you feel
Do not try to blame others
Because this is your fault
Your problem to endure
A sad and depressing world
For yourself to live in
And it gets really scary in this life
The thoughts that go through your head
Most do not understand
The lonely road you’re on
The only solution to this mess you have created
Is to crawl yourself out of the crater you have dug

This poem represents what I did to myself my freshman year of high school. I was not in a good mind set that year and because of that I isolated myself. I had zero friends and all I did was eat. I gained a large amount of weight that year and was severely depressed. I did not care for myself at all. This poem is supposed to be a warning to others about what happens when you isolate yourself. I feel like I was able to write a good poem with a lot of strength because of the personal experience. It has been a battle getting myself out of that lonely “crater” I dug and I have made it to a better place.
