Sometimes it feels like my shadow is my only company,
Or that the walls are the only things listening to the words that pour out of me.
Despite being surrounded, I always feel alone.
Empty eyes hide behind a smile because there's no room for sorrow.
Restless nights come frequently and so I sit, watching the stars.
The night that gave me peace now puts melancholy in my heart.
Although it seems I have no reason, I am constantly falling apart.
This side of me, I show no-one.
I've become the perfect little doll.

- Comment from author about the poem: It's what I've been dealing with as of late. Currently, It's getting harder to put my thoughts to words. Whether it's insecurity or another form of doubt, I'm uncertain. I just needed to get it off my chest.

Such a lonely feel to this writing but it’s very well expressed .., the idea of walls being around you who are the only ones listening and feeling you have to put on a front for others ... that’s very sad .
A good poem )
Very emotive words Echo, but your words are showing that you have the strength to move forward. Those stars will show you the way as you keep on seeing their light.
