Isolated within Air

A rumination on loneliness and the inability to counter it.

I float in breathless Air,

Bound to ever be alone,

Wishing I knew how to bare

My soul which to atone.

But I shall not do so,

For if I ever tried

I would be unable to show,

And I would simply lie.

Know I dare not speak

When I try it comes out wrong.

I know not why I cannot seek

Those mass of people in throngs.

Author's Note

Would appreciate feedback on how well it flows.

The poem has good flow. Seems like someone who feels alone and doesn't have many close friends. They try to assert themselves into society by forcing conversation that doesn't come naturally. When they do speak it's in lies thinking that's what people want to hear.

That is how I usually am. Thanks.

I can definitely relate because I feel the same way. Only having a couple close friends and they wonder why I can't just make small talk but they don't know the internal struggle to force your brain into doing things that don't make sense to you

[Lovecraft]

Exactly! :)

The flow is good. I've felt loneliness before so I know how it feels.

Thanks. I've just always been a guy who prefers introspection and solitude.
