Isolation is to be left out when you want to be in
That dull sense of loneliness that haunts you within
Isolation is feeling alone even when people are near
And feeling the rush of blood pounding in your ear
Isolation is staying away from people, afraid they won’t talk back
Counting how many times you get let down until you lose track
Isolation is reaching out, uttering a cry
From deep inside your heart but not hearing a reply
Isolation is hearing laughter in a room and silence when you walk inside
It makes you feel worthless, but you must disguise
Isolation is the cruelest emotion.
