Loneliness

Darkness Consuming

Waves of loneliness creep in and set

Dragging you down deep into darkness

Once inside you cannot leave

A constant battle of unending torment

Connection is the only solution

Spiraling down like a fallen plane

Breaking into pieces and falling with the debris

Sinking further down

Trying to resurface the water weighs heavy

Your arms grow weary and legs begin to weaken

Alone this battle started and alone you worry it will end

Trying to escape from your mind

Only to find yourself even more trapped

An infinite loop of insanity

Feeling trapped so you try to pull someone else in

Only to find that a ship with a hull breach only destroys

Destruction; chaos and the like

Destruction is the only remedy

Feeling pain feeling distracted

Pleading and begging for avoidance

Once you're stuck you're alone

And your mind that once was home

Just makes you feel even more alone

Then the loneliness clings to you and holds you tight

An undying unyielding entity

I guess I just took the term, "Gay Rights" to a whole other level.
