Isolation

i don't let people get close to me
and i'm not sure why
i've always been pretty independent,
and i just shove people as far out of my world as possible
it feels like i'm constantly reaching for someone,
but when they touch me, i slap their hands away
i am mean to people
so they won't try to get close to me
because i'm terrified from all the rejection i'm used to receiving
i'm behind a glass wall, ten feet thick
and i haven't figured out how to get away from here
i just keep isolating myself further and further away
in a hole inside the ground
where no one can reach me
i can't remember the last time i genuinely enjoyed the company of another human being
and it's getting to a point where i'm running out of questions to ask myself
