Isolation
April 9, 2024
I disappear into my notes
I flood my mind with harmonies and choruses
I go deaf and blind by my own volition
I inject myself with poison that I've become immune to
My mind ruminates on fabrications from myself
I try to shield others from my pain
They could never understand
Do not disturb on my mind and phone
A life I have become numb to
So I will disappear and hide
Until someone tries to drag me out
Even then I'll fight to stay in my exile
Because nobody deserves to see this side of me

This piece is about when someone struggles with mental illness or burnout, and they isolate themselves to protect the people around them or because they're just too tired to go on.
