Alone...

Alone...
Quiet...
No one can hear you
No one can see you
It's actually...
Peaceful.
You were suffocating in their words.
No one can help you
as much as they think they can.
You just want to get away,
get inside the comfort of your own mind.
Alone...
Quiet...
You're suddenly aware
of everything around you.
The slow beat of your heart
Your short, ragged breaths
the soft breeze coming through the window.
You close your eyes
imagining a life better than your own.
You smile
escaping from society
blocking out the world.
The only person you can truly trust
is yourself.
So why be sad when no one cares
when you don't care about them?
Alone...
Quiet...
Drifting away
into your own paradise
forgetting the pain.
