Lonely (January day 22)

everybody says I am

lonely but maybe

the fact that I hear all these voices

means I am only alone

outside my head.

 

everybody says there is

something we can do

to reach the lonely

to make them

spit out parts of themselves

into our mouths.

 

everybody says I am

alive every day by noon

I still feel like

half of me is out

somewhere in the night.

 

everybody keeps saying I am

not broken and I can still

feel the pieces I have

left behind on all the

roads no one sees.
