“Alone”
Rhyan Murphy
There are days
When I just feel like being alone
Just to drown out the negativity surrounding me
It’s relaxing and I feel at ease.
But then there are days where I’m just lonely
When everything I love turns bleak.
And not even those around me can sustain my
Sadness and vacant disposition
And that loneliness turns into sadness
And the sky that was once
Such a beautiful shade of blue
Is a disappointing, un-lively grey
And my mind turns into a storm
Where my thoughts thunder
And my stress comes up like lightning flashes
But the storm soon stops
And a small rainbow forms
Where my storm of emotions once were
And my grey, dreary thoughts turn a vibrant
Pink, Blue, and Yellow
And for that moment
I am me again.
