The Idea

This poem was written when I started univeristy – I was trying to make new friends and became stuck in a cycle of becoming an onlooker to established connections. The third. It made me feel like I was broken, and reflect on the people who used to be around me who weren’t my friends but they were familiar. It made me think that loneliness can become so much stronger when you feel it around other people.
