Confessions of A Lonely Teenage Girl: The Room

Loneliness isn't a feeling, it's more like a lie.

You try to make it seem like everyone around you

is with you but in reality, you're trapped inside your mind.

Sometimes it's like you're stuck inside of someone else's body, and

you love the life you're living but you also know it's not yours.

It's like being a shadow in a bright room, you want to belong

but you know you never will so you wait.

When you fake it you become just like the shadow you become

invisible. Every now and then when the lights tone down the shadow can be seen

again.

Now imagine being stuck in a room full of shadows and you're the only light.

See the problem isn't the light or the shadow it's the person controlling the room.

The person controlling the room decides whether to keep the shadows or shine the light.

If you're lonely you could be the shadow or the light, it depends on the situation but one thing is for sure

you're always going to be the person controlling the room so you decide.

You see Loneliness is more than just a lie, it's a choice. We're all outsiders and nobody really belongs. Most importantly everyone is secretly

lonely and because we're all secretly lonely that loneliness doesn't really exist.

If we're all lonely than we're all shadows but even the darkest of shadows always contain a little light.

Be the shadow, go back to the light, and then.... fuck it all because you not being able to fit in isn't your fault, it's society's fault.

You're a unique soul that does not fit into a category, someone who can't be labeled which is why you're always going to be the

person controlling the room.
