Loneliness

By Ben Fetterman

It’s amazing how
Even in a crowded room
Filled with conversations
One can still feel
So alone.
How in a world so connected
When you’re texting
You can still feel abandoned
Because you have to start
Every conversation
And put effort into
Keeping it going.
It especially hurts
When surrounded by couples
Who always have each other
To rely upon.
While you sit there
Stewing in your
Loneliness
