A Certain Kind of Loneliness: A Poem

There’s a certain kind of loneliness
that settles inside
it hides
behind shining blue eyes

There’s a certain kind of loneliness
that no one can see
you pretend
you appear to be happy

There’s a certain kind of loneliness
that goes unobserved
Insecurities grow
attention feels undeserved

There’s a certain kind of loneliness
that makes a soul ache
your grip tightensloneliness
but you bend until you break

I know a certain kind of loneliness
