Mind-Arrest
May 21, 2022
My cradled mind is meant secluded
My paper skin to be ignored
As every touch will burst ignited
And every dive will be forgotten
Confinement finds me well in peace
For I am better when alone
As I don't pierce the souls of people
Whom I so dearly wish to hold
My thinning walls are sewn with grief
Infused with melancholic past
My body plastered in its bareness
Alone to greet unwanted fates
And yet I kiss my walls of prison
My chalky lips in spreading grin
For I can now remain discarded
Lost in nothingness once again

There is something so depressing and yet addictive about the nature of self governed loneliness; one which is created by your own will. This constant tug-and-pull dynamic is relatable, especially to thousands who isolate in order to rid from this hungered feeling. Loneliness is draining, and yet so witheringly beautiful, all at once. To be a human, is to be even a little bit lonely.
