Lonely (Remove filter)
Loneliness
Inside I cry
behind steel eyes.
Against the wind
I feel that I
am all alone,
am all alone,
am all alone…
Goodbye

Milk Carton
How long is too long before concern spreads like the cancerous disease that precursors worry and anxiety?
A week? A day? TBD may be the answer -
A close-up of her face will do. 4 inches by 4 inches, with a description that would inspire all to help me find her. Strawberry, 2%, Whole and Chocolate. As long as I get the message out.

Hoping she holds her breath
Agitation eats at my chest due to my un-feathered yearning for this person, she cannot begin to think about what she wants other than the bare necessity of breathing.
Which implores me to wish she didn’t need to breathe, selfishly, so that I can then be an option for her. I'm sure another necessity would take sprout.
I’m not sure who is the root of the problem. A possible s...

Pain
it's a grey morning fog
hazing over the landscape; the person ; love.
it makes distant .
further away then it really is,
it blurs the lines.
whispers,, "you are alone "
it's white noise
hushing the love of the Sun
drips into the earth between the soft skin of your feet
makes slippery what you reach for
An aeonian drab
a monochromatic moan,

alone
I have this indescribable need to be heard,
like I’ve never whispered a single word over the course of my life,
like I’ve never uttered an incoherent syllable under the light of the dying sun,
like I’ve never looked into the eyes of another and truly felt seen.
Am I alone?
Am I floating here, lost in the waves of a turbulent sea,
waiting for a lifeboat that will never...

Black & Blue
Cry me black and blue
And black and blue
And crimson tears will fall.
Break apart this wanton fret
That consumes us all.
Broke into my heart again
To build a crumbled wall
While I waste internally
Replaying what I saw.
Cry me black and blue
And black and blue
And scarlet veins will die,
So strain ...

Forgotten
When we die,
We'll be forgotten,
But what can we say when
We're forgotten
While alive?
What am I to think
When I am invisible?
When I am cast aside?
When I am the problem?
Who is there to see me for me?
Does death then hold no meaning?
Is death even worth fearing?
Or is it rather embraced
As a means of escape
From those who
Don't care
At all?

The Girl They Called "Robot"
Crawl into my waiting arms
And tell me that it’s cold here.
The anger held within my eyes
Will never sear you.
When I’m lost in my own soul
How will you know to save me?
Or will you cry again
While telling me I’m broken?
"Broken,
gone,
beyond repair."
Reaching out was never easy.
Never necessary.
Never an option.
And so it sha...

Out Of Body
Aim your anger at me;
Pull the trigger,
And watch me bleed.
I can take a few more bullets
Rotting there inside of me.
Set me free.
Oh, set me free.
Grit my teeth,
And watch them bleed.
One by one
They fall away
Beneath the clouds,
Beneath the gray,
Beneath the promise of better days.
I sing beneath the sky so dark
With weathered bones
With shattered...

Never Alone
My mind is the only place I feel understood.
It’s a direct reflection of the confusion,
The hatred,
The insanity,
And yet it is home to me.
It beckons me back when I wander too far.
It calls my name when I’m lost in the dark.
Yet even with a thousand blessings,
I find myself crawling back towards the Hell
That dwells within me.
The chasm therein is deeper still

the loneliest tree in the desolate yellow
it's all so violent,
to live and feel connected.
the things we do
and say
and make
and break
in the name of love
how many times we've waited
for the dust to settle before
we stand up and brush
the wreckage from our cheek
only to fall again
and again
and again
how we fold ourselves
so deeply into each other
only to recognize the vacant space
they used to hold for us
and when...

The Privileged walk
Scuffing leaves on the ground
With no other soul anywhere around
Hands in my pocket, keeping warm
My feelings swell to an indignant storm
Life at home isn't quite right
The yelling and shouting gives me a fright
"Best apart" says my instinct
But it's not like me to kick up a stink
Night times leave me cold, fearful and small
Ear to the glass, glass to the floor

Inconsequential
And so it's done
That dream I saved
I cherished and nurtured
Fed the best parts of me
Now dried up and decaying
Crumbling like flaky pastries
The color all gone
Now grey and dusty
Like cobwebs in corners
Of long forgotten rooms
Like dirt on windows
No one has looked through
The feeling I had
All diminished and dead
No longer a heartbeat
O...

Alone???
There I was,
Standing in the storm,
Walking through the dark world,
Slowly,
All alone.
Light was dim,
Lamps burnt cold,
Silence all heard,
But my heart's wild roar.
Then there You came,
A gust in the storm,
With Your competitive smile,
And encouraging eyes,
"You done, already?",
You said, with that smile.
"What more can I do?"
"Race till the t...

FRIENDS.....
All this world,
Is one big stage,
And we star as mere actors,
In its brilliant plays.
Every face, a pretty smile,
But Is it truly what meets the eye?
"We my dear, are best of friends,
Joy, or despair,
I'll be near.
Cotton clouds,
Or coarse sand,
Side by side,
Hand in hand.
One day, at last,
Harsh winds?
They'll have to pass."

I Love Myself (Unfortunately)
I love myself.
Not in the way one would think.
I truly am in love with myself.
For there is no one in this whole wide world
That could understand me,
See me,
Hear me,
Apart from me.
Therefore it is only myself that I can love
And it is only myself that can love I,
Whose song differs from the other whales.
I love myself.
Not out of free will,
But out of...

my shadow
my shadow
my shadow is annoying
follows me everywhere I go
that is if the sun is shining
late evening my shadow gets elongated
and makes me look thin
at noon, my shadow becomes portly
the only shadow that delights me
is when I see your shadow enter my room
and float across my bed until the sun goes down.
I hold it until morning

The Lonely Old man Sits by the Window
the lonely man at the window
the old man sits by the window
she left him here yesterday
said she would be back soon
he went to bed but could not sleep
has she stayed away on purpose?
next morning he arises again
to sit and wait even if it takes an eternity
he said he would wait
and that he did until his dying day
this morning at daybreak

holding on
Broken sensations flood the brain,
attempting analysis would be in vain,
a relentless emotional maelstrom,
wreaking havoc in the mind’s kingdom.
The weather has settled,
a calm both before and after a storm,
stuck in a time loop,
ashen nimbi gather around with scorn.
A shattered refraction pierces the veil,
unveiling islands in various shades of gray,
paths ...

is it the thing that watchers

does she know

a Hopper in the making
a Hopper in the making
I photographed
three lonely men drinking coffee
in a coffee shop
how did I know they were lonely
they were straight out of an
Edward Hopper painting
like the people in “Night Hawks”
the light coming in the windows
reminded me of several of his paintings
of women looking out to bright light
that flowed in but brought no relief

Trapped Thoughts
Locked away emotions
I won't let no-one inside
Behind a masked perfection
Is the place I run and hide
Alone I’m always thinking
My mind just fills with dread
Unknotting the confusion
That’s tied up inside my head
Trying to escape thoughts
But I can't find no way out
My eyes are slowly welling
My cries are silenced shouts
I'm looking for the answers
But they just never seem to come

Wish You Well -Mental Health Awareness
Love was never anything they ever gotten or actually felt.
No one to ever check on your heart to make sure it was upkept.
From a child you held on to this misery & it crippled your health.
Afraid to talk about to family, & even friends, & too much pride to get help.

Don't want to hurt
I don't want to hurt no more
I don’t want to cry
Don’t want to curse no more
Don't want to live this lie
Inside I feel I’m dying
The pain it hurts so bad
I feel I’m losing control
Every day I feel so sad
I’ve felt this way for a lifetime
Thought I’d mastered how to cope
But the pressures getting heavy
Feel I’m living with false hope
Thought talking would help to free me
But I feel I’v...

As a child
As a child
Friends knocked the door
Eagerly excited
You were waiting for
To hear the question
As it left their mouth
Asking your parents
If you were coming out
As a child
We’d run around
No care in the world
And acting the clown
Getting dirty
And playing in mud
Making as many adventures
As we possibly could
As a child
I was building a wall
To keep me safe
And ca...

Runner
I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you
I didn’t notice I was still running from the past
had blurry vision cause my pace was fast
unable to build anything that lasts
bonding never occurred to me
I was so desperate to be free
running I did, away from the past
now I’m alone
the first will be last
afraid to let you close
cause I might get attached

Empty
Hello, can anyone hear me?
Hello, are you still there listening to my cries?
Listening to me as I fall on my knees, feeling so empty as this world falls apart
Hello, God! I need you! We all need you!
Our world slowly falls and we all begin to feel empty wanting human contact, human touch
God silently watches us and our empty lonely hearts
Waiting, quietly, for us all to call his ...

Isolation
Four walls
Little comfort
Self control, the rage inside
Missing choices
Voices taken
Expelled forsaken
No choice
To live..
To feed the fallen
Four walls
One door
No comfort,
challenges acceptance
we shall over come
Thursday 2nd April 2020 12:22 am
A lonely place
You’ve found yourself in a lonely place
With nothing left to lose but face
That you try to save but fail
To see the never ending trail
Of destruction from your hate
At an exponential rate
Trust has fallen, love is lost
You didn’t think what it would cost
You at the start when you began
And now I wonder if you can
Ever find a way to heal
The hurt that all but you ca...

lonely
an old man sitting alone at a diner
a child alone at recess because no one wants to play
an addict who sits at home inebreated because shes lonely
all of their minds have gone astray
feeling not good enough, feeling like no one cares
the feeling of loneliness is sometimes too much to bare
laying alone while your significant other sleeps
watching the ball drop on your own on ne...

Think of Me
Worst thing about New Year’s Eve,
being a romantic
but no one to love you the way you need
I’m holding back the urge to walk away
I’m holding onto responsibilities,
accepting my fate
Oh, will you please think of me
when you’re kissing your lover
send your positive vibes,
your good thoughts,
your shout outs,
send me a love I’d not want to live without

outcast
pretty enough but the story's too long. Everyone has a place but I feel like I don't belong. The people always stare, the people always talk. But in my shoes, I know they could never walk. Sauntering around trying to keep my head high but on the inside, it hurts I cannot lie. Try not to show it, try not to get mad. If you were me for a day you'd see why I'm so sad. You'd see the pain, past, and th...

In Mumbai
When the Sky is dark blue
And the Dawn becomes true
Just pray, same as I do
May my wish touches you
When sun rises in the Sky
And the birds ready to fly
Just remember what I say
We'll meet, surely, in Mumbai
When you stay lonely at night
And you wear your lovely white
Just be sure I'm always right
You're lovely dream on sight

HELP!!
Is it a Curse .. or God's Grace
To live alone heart and place
Suffering what I always face
Hopeless to be myself again
Are these changes good for me
To be lonely always or not to be
To live away of what I see
I lost my hope and brain
Sadly to wake up and sleep
Painful to feel yourself cheap
Living alone hurts in deep
I wish to know why, but i...

Depression
Eyes don't bring sleep and comfort..
Nights are long and engulfing as an avalanche
Days devoid of fervor, just drifting from one to another..
Mind plays pain and sorrowful notes in a never ending track..
Unrelenting tears brings no solace but just a barren, blank state..
Strong urge to let go surfaces like a gust of waves
Not a flicker of hope to keep the spirit alive
Dreary dull momen...

Soul Mates & Muses
You found your
soul mate?
I’m genuinely
happy for you!
Mermaids
and unicorns
are more common
than soulmates.
Please, do the lost
and lonely among us
a favor of great
significance,
Make her
your muse
so we can
feel love too.

The Void
Hey there lonely girl,
what are you doing wandering around
these dark places?
Don’t you know that
evil lurks about?
The void is littered
with those who will use you,
abuse you,
scar your soul for eternity.
Listen to my pleas,
I’m begging on bended knees,
move forward
towards the light,
no matter how tempting
the mysterious
shadows may be.

Naked Souls
Poetry is a
refuge for
a lonely life
the antidote
for pain
and strife
warm words
blanketing
a frigid night
tonic for thirsty sailors
drowning in an ocean
from which we cannot drink
To our deserted island we go
while the world
casts us loners,
introverts, quiet
weird, crazy...
Let them judge
as they wine and dine
in crowded rooms
on cell patrol
while w...

Harry
Harry died in his bed, sad
But nobody knew.
Someone knocked on his door
After a week or two.
When there wasn’t an answer
Someone went away,
Just thought he was deaf
Or, gone out for the day.
Then a week or two later
The mail’s in the hall
But the postman’s too busy
To give him a call,
And the milkman stopped coming
A long time ago;
When there isn’t a sign

Used to
I used to be happy
I used to smile
But I am broken
It's been this way for awhile
I used to dream big
I used to be strong
Life got in the way
And it didn't take long
Lying in bed
My heart is racing
My mind won't shut off
These thoughts that I'm facing
Maybe they're better off
Without the burden of me
I feel so lost and alone
I can sense th...

No Love
Why you do me so wrong
Why you shit on me all day long
U do me dirty like a damn tampon
Haven’t heard from you all day long
Like cmon
Look at the shit u be on
U do me like a damn peon
What type of love is this
Why you gotta put me thru this
Thursday 31st May 2018 1:53 pm
Damn
What if I fail
What if everything that I hope to accomplish
Becomes reality
What if I really be on mtv
Would that change a “U don’t mean shit to me”
To you mean the most to me
Let me stop
Let me pause
I never did good
So I never got a round of applause
Always found myself behind bars
For not following the laws
It seems crazy I always wanted...

What are words worth?
I wandered lonely in a crowd
Brushing up against shoulders
Colliding with legs
but feeling distant and alone
hearing no words of apology
only mutterings of annoyance.
I wondered lonely in a crowd
do we notice each other
or are too caught up in ourselves?
Minds a tangled mess of thoughts
A maze leading to who knows where
Losing our way again and again.

My Fault Again
He made our argument physical again tonight
Every time I think it's the last
Leaving him isn't an option
Plus, where would I go?
My heart can't take the cruel words or pain
Eventually, I'll learn how to cope.

The Art Of Loneliness
I never said I was sad
I try to be real
This reality is nothing mundane
I hide my problems well
What I feel is better than what i hear
They say loneliness is pain
I say loneliness comes from being alone
After all, it can be comforting
My reality is unhealthy but soft
Your reality is dramatic and boxed
I prefer a state of non-existence with lemon than construct a falsi...

Tere janey ke baad hawayein beyqaraar
Khushk aabshar , fizayein sogwaar

Kisi ki yadun me meri aahein girftaar
Ye itna parayapan achanak na guzrey
Tere paas aate hi bahein sharamsaar
Rotey kuch mei ne bhi mangha hai rab se
Pyase labu se meri duayein ashkbaar

Solitude
Solitude is mysterious
Solitude is strange
It can feel bliss'd, but it can render
Every time, it can always range.

It's when time smites me wrong
Or I'm feeling depressed
I'd join a lonely room for company
And tell it how I was stressed.

But what if you can't stand it,
What if you're pining for just anyone?
Keep seeking; in a world founded on those who care,

Sunny Days
I don't feel worthy of this earth.
It's a bright and happy day today.
I feel a fraud amongst it all.
As kids and parents play.
Sandcastles, colourful buckets and plastic spades,
Happy laughter fills the air.
Desperate darkness clouds it.
There is no point, no joy, no end,
I am hollow and so void.
I smile and wave and look the part,
Each photo frames the day.
Behind the mask the c...
