loneliness

Dear Diary,

Today, the weight of loneliness
Feels heavier than ever.
Despite being surrounded by people,
I feel an emptiness
That I can’t seem to shake off.
It’s like I’m invisible,
A ghost drifting through the halls of school
And the streets of my neighborhood.
I see my friends laughing and having fun,
But I can’t bring myself to join in.
I feel like an outsider,
Disconnected from the world around me.

Social media only makes it worse.
I scroll through endless photos
Of happy faces and perfect lives,
And it just amplifies my sense of isolation.
I know it’s not real,
But it still hurts.
I long for genuine connections,
For someone to truly understand me
And see me for who I am.

I hope that one day,
I’ll find my place
And the loneliness will fade away.
Until then,
I’ll keep holding on.
