Stirring up Old Feelings (Consequences of Facing the Past)
(this is totally an emo poem, sorry. haha)
Take this from me,
Tear it from my chest,
Throw it far from here
To the center of
The molten mountain,
"My precious",
Barely beating,
Chilled to freezing
As I sit eating
A shitty fast food burger
All by myself
At this park
Waiting
For the sun to go down.
Maybe nobody can understand
The things I have felt in my life:
Pinned to the ground,
Trapped,
Choking at sobs
deep inside,
Trying to hide
From myself,
From the ghosts,
Their faces,
All empty gazes
And gaping mouths
Staring into my soul
With a chill,
Unnatural
Sighing and moaning
As I float in dreams
Designed to terrify
And objectify,
To hold me down
And kick me while I'm there.
Maybe you haven't felt that.
Maybe this is all mine...
Maybe I am all alone.
Maybe it doesn't make a difference one way or the other.
Would it make things any better
If others have had it worse?

We are all on our own journeys. Not one person can understand your struggles, your pain. Everyone's emotional pain is as equal to another's. Not one greater than the other. Physical pain is something different I think. Empathy is the best anyone can really do. Doesn't mean you're alone.

Yeah, I know. But randomly, that feeling of being alone is a whole different kind of pain, although completely irrational. haha Thank you for your comment and read. As always. :)

I agree with Lookie in that we're all on our own journeys. Being told that others have had it worse is meaningless. Everybody has their own sensitivities and limitations. One can be in a concentration camp of one's own making. But whatever the problem, it's reinforced by solitude. That's when pain becomes magnified. I always enjoy your emo, Sammy.

hahaha I am glad you like them, Crowfly. I always feel like I complain too much when I write them.
I hope you are having a good day.

Well look at that. You just summed up my life in one poem. Congratulations, Sammy. In my experience, being alone is the worst kind of pain you could possible inflict upon or go through.
Just know (because lets face it: somebody here needs a hug) that you aren't alone! It's horrible cliché of me to say that and it's practically in every comment so far.... But it's true! We're here, not physically, but spiritually.
Enough of the mush! I must go read and write depressing poetry xD

solitude can be positive if it is truly a choice rather than it being thrust upon us.
this was hard to read, connected personally with so much of it :-)
excellent work - really stirred my emotions
