Can't hurt the hollow

by troy   Sep 30, 2008


I never feel more alone
Than when I'm surrounded, in a crowd
Seeing that nobody else is standing alone
Friends gathered in tight groups
And couples embracing with only a glance

Even with my closest friends
I still feel alone, more than ever
Watching them share eachothers hopes
Even closer when the chips are down
I never felt at home with anyone

I feel deserted by my family
Left to my own depression
Struggling through the past and present
Falling into the path of the future
Yet have no control of the path I follow

Wishing for the world around me to fail Collapse like my legs beneith me
For people to see through my eyes
The gaps in life and solitude I feel
Everyone dies alone

Sometimes I pray to a god I don't believe in
Hoping for an answer to fill my soul
But I lack the faith to hear the answer
And know that god is there above
Waiting for me to fall below

So I chose to be different
Not like the people I know or see
To embrace this lonely existance
Flow through life without a soul
Spare nothing from my distain for living

I collect the scars given to me
Try to connect them for a picture
Life has its good and bad bits
I only wish for balance in this torment
Tired of walking away for the right reasons

As I distance myself knowing not for the last time
Walk away again from those who care
Those who seek to help or inspire
Peace and a feeling of calm desend
Alone I feel, alone I am and happier for it.

Can't dissapoint people if none are there
Can't hurt the ones you love if you don't love
Can't destroy your own desires if you have none
Can't feel if there is noone to touch you
Won't let you get close, never have, never will

    Wow..i like this. i used to feel like this alot, and sometimes i still do.
    but i know that God is there, and He does answer us. yeah it takes faith to ask for help, and it's hard to keep believing when it seems everything is crumbling and no one's there. but if we keep trying, He'll answer us and always be there for us. you're never really alone...He's always there.
    hey if you need someone to talk to, pm me. i'll be here to listen to anything, ANYTHING you wanna talk about k? i know, i've been there, i've been thru alot....

    great poem tho..excellent write. i can really feel the emotions.......
