I feel like a cracked eggshell
just waiting to fall apart
leaving just a slimy residue and some hard pieces here and there

I am alone
my eyes welling up with tears

People around
moving through their own lives
their jobs, their relationships
their lives

I am alone
alone inside
alone outside
I just want to die

Shez, hold on........great things are coming to you, dear friend.

When you are ready, the Universe will welcome you home......it is waiting patiently, guiding you through this rough terrain, even if you don't feel it, it is there.

You are not alone........and we are with you.

You are part of the fabric that we all share.....

"To make sense of a muddy world, let it be still until it becomes clear". Taoist Proverb

You are loved, you are precious and........you are stronger than you think.

You can do it.

Keep going.......

Hey there Shez, hold on things will get better. Sometimes being alone seems like the worst thing in the world, but its not. Sometimes I get so down that its hard to get back up. But then after days being sad, sleeping to much, and deep depression, then coming to realize that being alone was peaceful cause no one was there yelling at me, hurting me, or telling what to do. So I got creative and used those times for doing things, lots of things I always wanted to do. I painted, and sewed, took long walks and stayed up late watching old movies and sometimes I cried. And it helped. Sure I miss the way things could have been, but I just gritted my teeth and made it though the rough spots. And I have faith that you can do that to. I am here if you need me. 1 Girl
Thanks for this!

Such a curse - the same wonder that brings your sad poetry to our eyes limits our response to typed words and smilies.

We can't take your alone-ness away, but know you've touched us.

Thank you Rohag.

"Thanks for this!" doesn't quite fit my emotions. But I also cannot think of other, better words to say. I appreciate your post.

Thank you 1oxbowgirl.

I appreciate you sharing your way of getting through dark times. We've had some similar struggles, physically, which does reassure emotionally. Thank you for posting.

Thank you Typo.

Your company is reassuring. I'm sorry that you're living with similar thoughts and feelings though . I suppose that we'll have to keep each other company through these dark times. Thank you for the kind words, Typo.
Thanks for this!

This is the best description of my malaise:

Loneliness of Spirit:
Deeper than the Reach of Love
by James Park

Loneliness is an aching void in the center of our beings,
a deep longing to love and be loved,
to be fully known and accepted by at least one other person.
It is a hollow, haunting sound sweeping thru our depths,
chilling our bones and causing us to shiver.

Is there a person, anywhere,
who has never felt the stab of loneliness,
who has never experienced
the eerie distance of isolation and separation,
who has never suffered the pain of rejection or the loss of love?

The final rupture or breakdown of a valued loving relationship,
the sudden death of someone who was close and special,
an unavoidable separation from a loved one
—these things strike loneliness into our hearts,
the intense experience of the absence of that specific person.

Besides longing for a specific person,
sometimes loneliness has no name attached.
This is the general feeling of being alone,
isolated, separated from others.

And there is a third kind of loneliness—existential loneliness—
which is even deeper and more pervasive than either of the first two.
It often disguises itself as longing for a specific person
or pretends to be yearning for contact with anyone,
but this deeper lack or emptiness-of-being
is not really a kind of loneliness at all.

Being together with other people, even people we intensely love,
does not overcome this deep incompleteness of being.
This inner default of selfhood has never been solved by relationships,
no matter how good and close and warm our relationships might be.
Thanks for this!

TheByzantine,

Thank you for sharing the poem. Each definition fits my emotions well. The 3rd feeling, existential loneliness, cannot be easily explained. I refer to that feeling inside as emptiness.

That emptiness is the most consuming and distressful. I think that's probably where I am right now, as I do have others in my life who I care for. The emptiness is pervasive. It goes on and on, no matter how much I deny it or pretend that it isn't there.

It's nice to know that others understand how it feels. Sad to know that others regularly experience it.

Thanks again, really.

What shocked me on 4 Jan 2010 hurt me so badly that now there will have nothing to stop me from leaving this Earth.

I used to think that I created the story of parents hating me, but it finally confirm on 4 Jan 2010.

I get to know it from the neighbour, he was told by my dad that I am a girl which eventually will marry and leave the home, so whatever things also he wont inherit it to me. (I'm fine with it, but what sadden me was this is how my dad think, and my mum agrees with it)

I hold my tears until i reached home, showed tantrum and slammed the door, and was questioned by my dad. But i can't tell the truth, because i know what he capable of doing.

I cried and cried, praying to god to end my life, or let me straight jackpot, and so i can offically leave this home without them looking down on me.. just because i am a Female, a Daughter, A Sister.

--------------------------------------------

I fear soon i become the abuser myself...
I fear of not able to control myself and repeat the footstep of those abusing me
I used to think of marriage and have my own family, but now I fear i will abuse my own child.. and choose not to have child... why let them suffer when i know how it feel....
