Profound Loneliness

Spilled Thoughts

You are screaming inside and no one can hear you

Your heart aches and nothing can soothe you

You are more than capable yet success is elusive

You want to reach out but each time you try anxiety tightens around your neck

Your faith is strong but despair seems stronger; perhaps you feel undeserving of true happiness

You seem to have answers for everyone yet no resolution for your struggles

You always seem so close yet so far; your energy is depleting steadily

Your introversion makes you a prisoner; incapable of embracing new life and opportunities

Your cries for help are silenced; you've made your voice almost inaudible

Your exterior smile is a front so no one knows your spirit is broken

Unable to trust, unsure of what lies ahead you wonder what will eradicate this profound loneliness.

I really connect to this poem, so it really touched me. I guess maybe understanding it and relating to it isn't such a good thing, but I like that other people understand what it's like to be lonely. Beautiful yet really sad.

Thank you Emma. I totally understand where you are coming from. I've felt these words many days but the days are getting better. I write to let others know they are not alone; we are all experiencing life...good and not so good. Thank you so much for taking time to read and review my entry. Take care. :)
