Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
It is hard to describe
A blackness in your soul
A knife into your very being
That feeling when you stand on the edge of a mountain
And look down
The noise you hear in the middle of the night
That jumps you awake from a peaceful deep sleep
Every fear you have
Comes to assault you at the same time
Pounding your mind from every direction
Determined that it be the one that makes it through
Not feeling the touch of another
Gently stroking that stray hair from your cheek
Taking your hand in theirs as you walk
Curling into you on the sofa as you watch TV
Knowing when you awake the only thing you will see that day
Is your reflection in the mirror
Knowing that the only person you will talk to that day
Is yourself
That feeling you get when your first awake
That transition from when for the briefest of moments
You in your sleep have forgotten
And then reality awakens
And crawls its way into your conscious
And you then remember
You are alone
A blackness in your soul
A knife into your very being
That feeling when you stand on the edge of a mountain
And look down
The noise you hear in the middle of the night
That jumps you awake from a peaceful deep sleep
Every fear you have
Comes to assault you at the same time
Pounding your mind from every direction
Determined that it be the one that makes it through
Not feeling the touch of another
Gently stroking that stray hair from your cheek
Taking your hand in theirs as you walk
Curling into you on the sofa as you watch TV
Knowing when you awake the only thing you will see that day
Is your reflection in the mirror
Knowing that the only person you will talk to that day
Is yourself
That feeling you get when your first awake
That transition from when for the briefest of moments
You in your sleep have forgotten
And then reality awakens
And crawls its way into your conscious
And you then remember
You are alone
Thank you for expressing loneliness so deeply.
Thank you.
I never expected anyone would understand this. I wrote it in about 5 minutes one day, exactly how I felt at that moment in time
I hoped it would help me. It may do one day
And may I just say I am sorry if anyone else feels like this. It is not something I would wish on anyone
