An Intentional Mistake I Knew Nothing About

Exploring loneliness....

I'm up in this motel,
worrying about what hasn't happened.

The sound of the freeway,
it's buzzing with life and monotony.

Never did erase my past,
now left with a debilitating future.

Lying here in comfort,
I'm blowing kisses at nothing special.

How alarming it is,
to find yourself alone a lot.

Even with people surrounding,
I don't know where I'm at.

Earlier I smiled,
at a waitress who ignored me.

Is it always unpleasant,
to strike out with such frequency?

The day is remembering my first day,
when life was nothing but promise.

I sigh, sadly and eagerly,
about what my next first day will be like.

I hope you have moved on from this Jack, loneliness is not nice at all..

I certainly appreciate your kind words and wishing me well, so if I ever see that guy again I'll tell him what you said. Salut

at my age i really relate to this...all the strikeouts...all of the times feeling alone in a crowded room...
all the times wondering if i have ever really achieved anything in my life...

not really wanting to know what the next day will be like, but doing more reminiscing as to the possibilities that i thought might lie ahead.
