sadness lives within

I will sit in this prolonged sadness, it's build a home within me. I don't know if I want to see the world outside because when I step out it's only me. You can live in a town of a thousand people and still feel the cold grips of loneliness, secluded in my thoughts, I am the version of me I really hoped not to ever see. I am strong, but I also hold an everlasting internal sadness that can never fully be explained.
