Becoming Loneliness

For so long, I have fought this never-ending battle

To free most people and me from the loneliness hassle

Lately, it feels like a battle that shows no signs of winning

Waving the white flag is just the beginning

I’m becoming the very thing I’ve fought so hard to escape

My light is slowly being erased

I thought I had finally escaped the wrath

The relentless loneliness army refuses to let me escape its path

Its forces are overwhelming to beat

Their leader tells me to ‘’have a seat’’

‘’You can end this fight, by joining us’’

‘’Why put yourself through more pain, just adjust’’

Not having the will to fight loneliness anymore, I accept his offer

One of his soldiers gives me a brown robe and some cold water

I put the robe on and accept my fate

The leader says ‘’If we can convert another tired soul by night time, that’ll be great’’
