Alone
I‘m alone
In my room
Staring lonely down my phone
I want
To be with you
With all the people I know
My soul
Is crying out
Yet I ignore the sound
My owl of wisdom
It’s gone
I’m vulnerable to the tone
Of empty promises
That eventually will crush my hope
I hope
The wind will blow away
This deep dark cloud
I can’t move
I can’t cry
I can’t walk
Into the light that will safe my soul
I’m alone
In my room
Staring lonely down my phone
I want
To be with you
With all the people I know
My soul
Is crying out
Yet I ignore the sound
My owl of wisdom
It’s gone
I’m vulnerable to the tone
Of empty promises
That eventually will crush my hope
I hope
The wind will blow away
This deep dark cloud
I can’t move
I can’t cry
I can’t walk
Into the light that will safe my soul
I’m alone

Author's Note
These times I often get the feeling of belonging nowhere. It’s hard to lift up your mind when you somehow can’t seem to find the same enjoyment in things like you used to. Often times I get these weird feelings and dreams about who I want to be but eventually I realize it’s not what I’m looking for. I know these feelings are hard. Just know, if someone out there feels the same way, you’re not alone my friend

you’re not alone, too, love. you’re seen and heard with me. i thought about publishing something about the same feeling, the feeling of not belonging, of being an alien in your own environment, may it be a home or a group of people. the joy fades, but it also comes back, eventually. i learned that nothing is permanent - ever. now this is scary, but also really freeing. for all the times this feeling gets you, i will remind you that you belong to this world, this city, this world, my friends. you’re here, and you’re worth of this. the light is within you, it just needs to come out - take your time, healing does not work over night :)
