ISOLATION
<p>I used to think isolation was peace.</p><p>No noise, no stress, just me — a quiet release.</p><p>I told myself, “I’m better alone,”</p><p>like healing only happens when you switch off your phone.</p><p>At first, it feels cool, like breathing after a long shout,</p><p>finally having space to figure yourself out.</p><p>But the truth nobody tells you straight:</p><p>isolation feels like comfort…</p><p>until it starts to suffocate.</p><p>You stay in your room, lights off, curtains drawn,</p><p>and suddenly it’s midnight even when it’s morning dawn.</p><p>Your thoughts get louder, your mood gets cold,</p><p>your chest gets heavy with things you never told.</p><p>You start overthinking every message you don’t send,</p><p>every plan you cancel, every “I’m fine” you pretend.</p><p>You push people away thinking you’re protecting your heart,</p><p>but all you’re doing is pulling yourself apart.</p><p>And isolation—</p><p>it grows.</p><p>It grows like a shadow you didn’t invite,</p><p>turning simple days into endless nights.</p><p>Soon the silence becomes a little too deep,</p><p>and your mind becomes a place you can’t sleep.</p><p>It leads to losing interest in everything you loved,</p><p>forgetting how to laugh, forgetting how to trust.</p><p>It makes your world smaller, tighter, darker too,</p><p>until even the mirror feels like it doesn’t know you.</p><p>But here’s the part I had to learn the hard way:</p><p>humans aren’t built to stay locked away.</p><p>You don’t need a crowd; you just need one soul</p><p>who reminds you you’re worthy, that you’re still whole.</p><p>Connection isn’t weakness — it’s air.</p><p>It’s having someone say, “I’ve got you,” and actually care.</p><p>And sometimes breaking the cycle starts small,</p><p>like texting back, or stepping outside,</p><p>or letting someone catch you when you fall.</p><p>Isolation feels safe, but healing starts when you share,</p><p>when you stop drowning silently</p><p>and let someone else be there.</p><p>You’re not meant to fade alone.</p><p>You’re meant to live,</p><p>to breathe,</p><p>to be known.</p><p>The End.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Credits:Confidential </p><p>I sincerely hope you and I find that one soul 😔</p>
