Loneliness

I was so afraid
To get my own apartment

In the last few years
My worst moments
Were when I was alone

My anxiety would get so loud
I couldn’t hear anything else

Fearing this becoming
Day to day life
I found so many excuses
To not live on my own

But being a student
In times of Covid-19
Pushed me
Towards giving it a try

Although it was scary
At first
I’ve gotten to know myself
More deeply

Most of the time
I now know
What I need to do
To not feel so alone
