Loneliness

It’s the kind of feeling you get when everyone else around you shares at least one thing in common. It’s easy to patch up if that thing is material, but some things are just beyond your reach. Some times it’s regarding the things you are born with. At other times, it’s what you are born as.

Loneliness is having people converse around you and yet you can’t seem to be able to contribute in it in anyway. It’s not that you don’t understand them nor vice versa but every time you try, you just seem to be striking on a different chord. For example, everyone’s singing a song that is in the key of G major. However, when you offer a note, it comes out in the augmented key.

All that chatter around me I wish I could be a part. I’m helpless at being able to share their jokes nor understand why a topic as such interests them so much. Having to put on that fake smile or to pretend to be interested some times make me wonder why I am where I am.
