better alone

you can not force

someone to be

the person you need them to be

you have to learn

to be okay with this

that there are other people

in the world

to satisfy this thirst

some people are not meant

to feel everything

and although this isn't you,

you can't blame others

for misunderstanding your sadness

some people merely sit

on the flatline of human emotion

they do not rise higher

or lower

but remain

on the same level
