Chapter 3: Loneliness

Alone. So utterly alone its crushing my existence. My chest feels heavy when I go to sleep and I have nightmares about all the people that have left. I wake up counting all the ones that remain. And one day they too will leave, without a single goodbye.

Perhaps, I am the glitch. I am the one unneeded member in everyone’s lives. Perhaps, I was born only to be a stepping stone in other people’s lives. I was meant to be outgrown and left behind. I struggle with this thought every other day.

Its time to accept it and start building my life around this wretched loneliness that seeks to devour me with every passing day.
