Ode to loneliness: "I feel like..."

I feel like a lonely tree...

High up on a lush, green hill...

With a bundle of dark clouds...

Looming over me mockingly...

I feel like I have to keep fighting...

To get my share of sunlight...

I feel obligated to kiss the air around me...

So I can continue breathing...

I feel...

...I feel that

Loneliness is aggressively consuming my very soul...

Erasing my sheer existence...

This is the reason why...

...  Even in your majestic presence...

I can't conceive...

I am failing to utter...

Simple words of...

'I Love You'

I'm so afraid...

That you won't see me twice...

You won't feel the same way that I do...

And you will see me differently...

I'm so constantly worried

Because my shadow is haunting me...

Secretly in its demeanor...

As I reach high up

Anticipating my fall... 

But deep inside I know...

I will soar steadily...

As my roots are intact...

Nothing will shake me...

No matter what the obstacles...

I shall stand tall...

So I can embrace the warmth of the sun...

The one who has always loved me...

Who? The real me...
