Loneliness Poem by Kaitlin Schmidt

The loneliness you feel is all to familiar.
There is a slight comfort in knowing you have experienced this before
And will experience it again.
However, that thought scares you for it seems you can never escape it.
It will always be there haunting you as a shadow behind you.
Abandonment feels natural.
You can not comfort yourself no matter how hard you try.
The distance you keep from others is comfortable
And getting closer is unthinkable.
