Ode to the Malice of Loneliness

Oh vile loneliness, perfidious adversary,

How I abhor your ruthless company.

You creep in subtle, promising reprieve,

Then reveal your true nature to cleave

And carve away joy, contentment flees,

As you unleash your vicious disease.

You offer only anguish and melancholy,

Disguising your intent with trickery.

Once welcomed for rest, now overstayed as a pest,

The light you obliterate, leaving only dreaded night.

No entertainment or occupation can ease your domination,

As you wrap your claws tight and blight.

Foul abomination of isolation, sinkhole of desolation,

You feast on my despair, inhale each cry into your lair.

My shouts of outrage become your deranged symphony,

As you conduct my agony into twisted harmony.

You promise your friendship will pay dividends without end,

But only deliver hollow days stripped of meaning.

You vow your embrace will give comfort and place,

Yet smother all gladness, goodwill erased.

Your sworn companionship breeds naught but enmity,

As you breed distrust, detachment, anxiety.

No bond or attachment can form in your realm,

Just rupture, rejection, and overwhelm.

You swore your counsel would open untold doors,

But only shut them as my confinement roars.

No wisdom or insight gained in your tutelage,

Just regression and madness engage.

Your claimed kinship only estranges and alienates,

Till I recoil from your friendship and desperate wait

For liberation from your undesired station.

Release from your foul incarceration.

But still you never depart of your own volition,

No hint of shame, just wicked ambition.

You stay and relish the damage you sow,

Ripening fear, suspicion, turmoil and woe.

Loneliness you are truly the enemy within,

Rotting foundations, eroding my core from your sin.

I've had my fill of your toxic diet,

Now firmness and fortitude must I summon and fiat.

No more will I resign myself to your bleak confinement,

And hear your lies that I'm forever consigned.

I reject your prison of desolation,

Gather my will to defy your damnation.

Through the bars of this cell I see freedom glimmer,

Your keys of control shall be mine, I vow to win them.

I will break this profane incarceration,

And leave your clutches to decay into oblivion.

Loneliness hear me, your reign now expires!

No longer will I fuel your sinister desires.

I reclaim my power, my voice, my mind,

That you tried to bury but never could bind.

See me cast off your shackles and rise

Above your false walls built on lies.

Your fortress now fractures and begins to sink,

Your sorcery undone link by link.

Behold your castle crumble into dust,

As you gasp in outrage, writhing disgust.

Your magics unravel before your wild eyes,

Your horrors undone no matter how you writhe.

Farewell foul loneliness, now powerless and profane,

Never again will I endure your deranged game.

Someday you'll be but a distant memory,

Of darker seasons now set free.

My new horizon dawns bright and warm,

Filled with fellowship life and charm.

Connection, compassion, community abide,

Fear and isolation cast aside.

Ahead open vistas now call my name,

No longer bound in your constricting chains.

I go to meet tomorrow's wonders at last,

Leaving your shadows buried in the past.
