Loneliness (acrostic)

by CJ Maleney   Oct 16, 2017


Loved ones seem so close yet feel so so far away.

Only yourself to blame for this enforced state of limbo.

Nothing you can do to make it right.

Everything now just seems pointless.

Life must go on, but does it really go on or just stumble around blindly?

Incomprehensible thoughts and feelings fight for space in your head.

Never before have you felt so desolate, so useless, so pathetic.

Emotions splattered all over like the paint of the abstract artist.

Silence.

!SCREAMS!

    Craig, such a sad write. This is raw and it's really a telling write of how you are feeling these days. Please don't feel alone. There's a lot of us on P&Q that have battled or battling depression at the moment. Hugs and strength to you!

    I truly love this because i connect with it so much right now. It feels like this person is at a crossroads and they are slowly falling into a hole. People always seem to do this to others and its a struggle to walk away, or even write about it because you don't know what to say. But you wrote this so well.
