Alone

Days seemed longer 

The sun seemed to dim 

When I started to wake up  

Later. And then even later 

With the day gone 
I had less time to feel alone 

Less time to think. 

I found ways to dull my senses. 

Dull my feelings 

I avoided thinking 

I avoided talking. 

I avoided life. 

I cried out for help 

Only to have no one hear. 

Because no one was around.
