A Letter to the Forgotten

To those who have been forgotten,
To those who have been cast aside,
To those who have been left behind,
This letter is for you.

I know that you feel alone,
I know that you feel lost,
I know that you feel forgotten,
But I want you to know that you are not.

You are loved,
You are important,
You are worthy,
And you are not alone.

I know that it is hard to believe,
When the world seems to have forgotten you,
But I want you to know that I see you.

I see your pain,
I see your hurt,
I see your loneliness,
And I want you to know that I care.

I am here for you,
I will not forget you,
And I will never leave you.

So please, do not give up hope,
Do not give in to the darkness,
Do not let the world forget you.

I am here for you,
And I will never forget you.

In My Corner

In my cozy corner, I find solace,
The window open, revealing a tranquil scene.
The sound of slumber echoes softly,
My light illuminating the dusk with gentle sheen.

Yet, my mind wanders, yearning for you,
My heart aches, longing for your embrace.
Do you too have a haven, a sanctuary,
A place where you find solace and grace?

Is it a person, a kindred spirit,
A source of warmth and kindred light?
Or is it a place, a cherished refuge,
Where you find solace, day and night?

Wherever your corner may be,
I hope it brings you solace and peace.
And may we one day find each other’s corners,
Where our love will forever increase.

Empty shells

Empty shells on the shore
Remind me of the days before
When we were young and free
And filled with joy and glee

Empty shells in my hand
Remind me of the times we planned
To travel the world and see
All the wonders that could be

Empty shells in my heart
Remind me of how we fell apart
When we grew old and cold
And lost our dreams and goals

Empty shells in my mind
Remind me of what I left behind
When I chose to walk away
And face a lonely day

Like fading rays

Like fading rays of the setting sun
You left me in the dark, alone and undone
You were the light of my life, the warmth of my soul
But you slipped away from me, leaving a gaping hole

I still remember the days we spent together
Laughing and loving, promising forever
But now those memories are all that remain
A bitter reminder of what I can’t regain

I wonder if you ever think of me
Or if you have moved on, happy and free
I wish I could see you one more time
To tell you how much I miss you, how much you were mine

But I know that’s just a hopeless dream
A fantasy that can never be
So I’ll just keep you in my heart
Like fading rays that never part

The Weight of Sadness

All the sadness sits and hits,
Heavy like a ton of bricks,
Tears fall down like pouring rain,
Heartache causes so much pain.

Emptiness fills up the room,
Like a dark and endless tomb,
Loneliness becomes a friend,
As the heart begins to bend.

But hope can light the darkest night,
And guide us towards a better sight.

The Selfish Me

Selfish me, always wanting more,
Never content, always at war.
I take and take, without a care,
Leaving nothing behind but a selfish air.

But what is the cost of this endless greed?
What do I lose in this constant need?
For in the end, I am left alone,
With nothing to show, and nothing to own.

A Cold Heart

A Cold Heart

A cold heart beats inside my chest,
A frozen mass that won’t be blessed.
No warmth, no love, no empathy,
A lonely life, too blind to see.

Nights Are Getting Colder

Nights are getting colder, oh what a thrill,
Numbing my senses, like a bitter pill.
Nagging and niggling, the chill won’t relent,
Nursing my misery, with each breath spent.

Nostalgic and naive, I long for the past,
Nursing my wounds, like a love that won’t last.
Nearing the end, the cold creeps in,
Narrowing my vision, like a fool with no win.

Numb and neglected, I shiver and shake,
Nudging away comfort, with each step I take.
Nearing the bottom, I cling to my pride,
Nestled in my misery, with nowhere to hide.

In the depths of my heartache and pain

In the depths of my heartache and pain,
Love’s sweet embrace has left me in vain.
Sorrow and tears, my constant mates,
Heartbreak and despair, my bitter fates.

Betrayed and alone, I stand shattered,
Loneliness my only companion, tattered.
My ache and grief, a never-ending story,
Agony my song, sung with no glory.

Imprisonment in the dark

Imprisonment in the dark

I’m trapped in a cell with no windows or light
The walls are so thick that I can’t hear a sound
I don’t know how long I’ve been here or why
I only know that I’m alone and afraid

I try to remember the faces of my loved ones
But they fade away like shadows in the night
I wonder if they miss me or if they think I’m dead
I wish I could see them or hear their voice

I dream of the sun and the sky and the stars
But they seem so far away and out of reach
I feel like I’m losing my mind and my soul
I wonder if there’s any hope or escape

I pray to God or whoever might listen
But I don’t get any answer or sign
I don’t know if I’m alive or dead
I only know that I’m imprisoned in the dark.

The warmth that I lack

The warmth that I lack

Loneliness, longing, solitude
The coldness seeps into my bones
As I crave affection’s glow
A heart in hibernation, awaiting spring
When joyful company shall return
And banish the winter of absence
Restoring the warmth that I lack.

Sticks and stones hold me

Sticks and stones hold me

I lie on the ground, broken and bruised
Sticks and stones hold me, they are my only friends
They do not judge me, they do not hurt me
They keep me warm, they keep me safe

But sometimes I wonder, is this all there is?
Is there more to life than sticks and stones?
Do I have a purpose, a reason to exist?
Or am I just a pile of bones?

I dream of a place where I can be free
Where I can laugh and sing and dance
Where I can meet someone who loves me
Who sees beyond my circumstance

But then I wake up, and reality hits me
Sticks and stones hold me, they are my only friends
They do not judge me, they do not hurt me
They keep me warm, they keep me safe.

My Sullen Heart

My Sullen Heart

My sullen heart is heavy and cold
It beats with sorrow and pain
It has been broken and torn apart
It has been scarred and stained

My sullen heart is lonely and sad
It longs for love and warmth
It has been rejected and abandoned
It has been hurt and scorned

My sullen heart is weary and tired
It yearns for peace and rest
It has been troubled and tormented
It has been stressed and depressed

My sullen heart is still alive
It hopes for healing and grace
It has been wounded and weakened
But it has not lost its faith.

I am all alone in this beautiful world

I am all alone in this beautiful world

I am all alone in this beautiful world,
Surrounded by wonders, my soul unfurled,
The sky so blue, the grass so green,
A beauty that’s rare, a sight unseen.

But despite the splendor, I feel so small,
A tiny speck, no one at all,
I wander through fields, I climb up hills,
But the emptiness inside, it never stills.

I watch the birds fly, the bees buzz by,
But envy their freedom, their ability to fly,
I long to be a part of this world,
To have a place where I am unfurled.

But until then, I am all alone,
Lost in thought, without a home,
I’ll wander through this beautiful world,
With the hope that someday, I’ll be unfurled.

The Realization of Your Absence

The Realization of Your Absence

In every corner of my room,
I see the remnants of our love in bloom.
But now you’re gone, and I’m alone,
The emptiness I feel has grown.

I wander through the streets we walked,
Remembering every moment we talked.
But now the silence is deafening,
Without you, life is so uninteresting.

Though memories of you still remain,
The pain of your absence is hard to contain.
I realize now how much I need you,
Without you, my world is so askew.

The Sorrow of Solitude

The Sorrow of Solitude

In the quiet of the night,
Alone I sit, without a light.
Surrounded by the emptiness,
Of a life without tenderness.

The darkness engulfs my soul,
As I try to fill this gaping hole.
The silence screams so loud,
As I cry into the shroud.

I long for company and cheer,
But my solitude is all I hear.
The sorrow seeps into my heart,
As I struggle to play my part.

Oh, the pain of loneliness,
A constant struggle, without a caress.
The weight of this heavy load,
Makes it hard to hit the road.

But in this sorrowful solitude,
I find a strength, a fortitude.
To face the world, without a fear,
And rise above this lonely tear.

Desperate for Someone

Desperate for Someone

Desperate for someone to hold,
A touch to soothe the heart so cold,
A voice to break the silence bold,
To end the pain that can’t be told.

Desperate for someone to care,
To listen and to always be there,
To help us through the dark despair,
And show us love beyond compare.

Empty Heart with a Cluttered Brain

Empty Heart with a Cluttered Brain

Empty heart with a cluttered brain,
Lost and confused, feeling the pain.
Thoughts and worries pile up high,
Can’t seem to find a reason why.

Memories of love that never end.
Searching for meaning in this life,
Trapped in a cycle of endless strife.

Heartbreak in the Night

Heartbreak in the Night

In the quiet of the night,
I lay alone, thoughts take flight,
Memories of love so bright,
Now shattered in the moonlight.

Tears fall like raindrops from above,
As I mourn a lost, broken love,
My heart aches, I can’t deny,
Heartbreak in the night, I cry.

Loneliness creeps in like a thief,
Stealing my joy and leaving grief,
Oh, how I wish for the light,
To chase away heartbreak in the night.

Tears on a Lonely Pillow

Tears on a Lonely Pillow

Tears on a lonely pillow,
A heartbroken soul in despair,
Memories of love that once filled the room,
Now replaced by an empty chair.

The night feels so cold and lonely,
As tears fall from weary eyes,
A heart that once was whole and happy,
Now broken and shattered, filled with sighs.

The sound of silence is deafening,
As the pain of love lost sets in,
The pillow offers a soft place to rest,
As the tears continue to begin.

Oh, how the heart can ache so much,
From a love that was meant to last,
Tears on a lonely pillow,
Remind us of the love that’s now past.

I Fell Into the Abyss

I Fell Into the Abyss

I fell into the abyss, dark and deep,
Into a world where dreams can’t keep,
All the light had faded away,
Leaving me to my dismay.

Lost in the depths of my mind,
No way out, no hope to find,
Tumbling down into the unknown,
I fell into the abyss alone.

Sinking Screaming

Sinking Screaming

Sinking, screaming, drowning in despair,
The weight of the world too much to bear,
I struggle and fight, gasping for air,
But the darkness surrounds me everywhere.

I reach for a hand, a lifeline to cling,
But my cries go unheard, my voice cannot sing,
The silence is deafening, my heart starts to sting,
As I realize I am alone in this thing.

The water rises, the pressure intense,
I feel myself slipping, losing all sense,
I close my eyes and say a prayer,
Hoping that someone will soon be there.

But as I sink further, the light fades away,
And I am left with nothing to say,
Except for a scream, a sound of dismay,
As I am swallowed by the depths of decay.

Watching the Night

Watching the Night

Watching the night,
Silent and still,
As the stars twinkle bright,
And the world sleeps until

Loneliness creeps in,
As solitude takes hold,
And the mind begins
To reflect and unfold

The secrets kept within,
The dreams and the fears,
Washed away by the din
Of the night’s gentle tears

Watching the night,
Beneath the moon’s soft glow,
The soul takes flight
As the heart begins to know

The beauty of the darkness,
And the power of the light,
As the mind finds its harness
In the stillness of the night.

Loneliness that won’t refrain,
Nothing new, just the same old blue,
Same old heartache, same old you.

It’s a terrible thing

It’s a terrible thing to be alone,
Lost in the shadows without a home.
The weight of darkness can be so strong,

A glimmer of light that can appear.
Hold on tight, don’t let it go,
For in the end, love will always show.

Love’s Lonely Journey

Love’s Lonely Journey

Love sets out on a lonely journey
To find its match, its counterpart, its attorney
It braves the storms and the darkest nights
Enduring the pain, the struggles and the fights

For it knows that at the end of the road
A love so true and pure, it will behold
And in that moment, all the loneliness will fade
For love’s lonely journey will have found its serenade.

When Love Meets Loneliness

When love meets loneliness, it’s like a dance,

And fills the emptiness with warmth and tenderness.

As two souls find their rightful place,
When love meets loneliness, magic abounds.

Embracing Loneliness

Embracing Loneliness

Loneliness is not always bleak,
It’s a friend who comes to speak,
Of quiet moments and introspection,
Of deeper truths and self-connection.

In solitude, we find our strength,
And learn to go to any length,
To embrace the beauty of being alone.

The Loneliness of Love

The Loneliness of Love

Love can be lonely, a solitary feeling
A longing that goes beyond mere healing
A heart that yearns for another’s embrace
Amidst the emptiness, a sacred space

A journey that requires great strength
A risk that’s taken, despite its length
For love can conquer all, it’s said
Even the loneliness that love can shed.

Outsider’s Lament

Outsider’s Lament

I stand outside the crowd, a stranger in their midst
Their laughter and their chatter, a language I can’t twist
I try to blend in seamlessly, but I’m just a misfit
My loneliness and longing, like a festering cyst
I yearn for connection, but my difference is a risk
An outsider’s lament, a life I can’t enlist.

The sound of solitude

Version 1

In the stillness of the night,
When the world is calm and quiet,
There’s a sound that fills the air,
A melody that’s always there.

It’s the sound of solitude,
A gentle hum that’s understood,
A symphony of peace and calm,
A soothing balm that heals all harm.

It whispers secrets in your ear,
And wipes away all doubt and fear,
It tells you that you’re not alone,
And makes your heart feel like a home.

The sound of solitude is pure,
It’s a gift that’s always sure,
To bring you comfort and solace,
And help you find your inner balance.

So when you’re lost and feeling blue,
And don’t know what to say or do,
Just listen to the sound of solitude,
And let it guide you through.

Version 2

In the quiet of the night,
When the world is out of sight,
I hear a sound that’s pure and true,
A melody that’s meant for few.

It’s the sound of solitude,
A peaceful hum that’s never rude,
A song that speaks of inner peace,
And brings my restless soul release.

It whispers secrets in my ear,
And tells me things I need to hear,
Of love and hope and gentle grace,
And how to find my rightful place.

The sound of solitude is sweet,
A balm for when my heart’s offbeat,
It brings me to a higher plane,
And helps me find my peace again.

So when the world is loud and wild,
And my heart is like a frightened child,
I close my eyes and listen close,
And let the sound of solitude guide me most.

The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health

The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health

In recent years, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. While it can be a valuable tool for staying connected with friends and family, as well as for accessing news and entertainment, there is growing concern about the impact that social media may be having on our mental health.

One of the key ways in which social media can impact our mental health is through its potential to foster feelings of loneliness and social isolation. While social media allows us to connect with others in new and innovative ways, it can also create a sense of distance and disconnection between us and those around us. This can lead to feelings of loneliness and a sense of being disconnected from our communities.

Another way in which social media can impact our mental health is through the creation of unrealistic expectations and the promotion of unhealthy body image. Social media is filled with images and messages that can promote unrealistic beauty standards, and can create a sense of pressure to conform to these standards. This can lead to feelings of low self-esteem and can contribute to the development of eating disorders and other mental health issues.

Finally, social media can also have a negative impact on our mental health by promoting the spread of false information and conspiracy theories. This can lead to feelings of confusion and anxiety, and can contribute to the development of harmful beliefs and attitudes.

While social media can have a number of negative impacts on our mental health, it is important to remember that it is not all bad. Social media can be a valuable tool for staying connected with others and accessing important information. The key is to use social media in a mindful and intentional way, and to be aware of its potential to impact our mental health.

In conclusion, social media has the potential to impact our mental health in a number of ways. It can foster feelings of loneliness and disconnection, promote unrealistic beauty standards, and contribute to the spread of harmful beliefs and attitudes. However, by using social media in a mindful and intentional way, we can help to mitigate these negative impacts and promote our mental health and well-being.

Screaming into the void

Screaming into the void

Screaming into the void, a sound unheard,
A voice in the darkness, an echo deferred,
A yearning for connection, a need to be seen,
Lost in the void, like a forgotten dream.

The silence is deafening, the emptiness vast,
But still we scream, hoping our voice will last,
For even in the void, we find our strength,
And in the darkness, we can go to any length.

Sleepless Nights

Sleepless nights, and endless thoughts
My mind races, as my heart knots
A symphony of worries, plays in my head
And the moon shines, upon my lonely bed

I toss and turn, but sleep eludes me still
A prisoner, to the fears that give me no thrill
My pillow’s soft embrace, a mere illusion
As I lay wide-eyed, with my heart in confusion

So I count the hours, till dawn’s early light
Hoping for peace, in the darkness of the night
But it’s a losing battle, this war within my mind
And so I’m left, with the remnants of unkind.

Loneliness

At Nights, I take My Loneliness
and Add to it, a Tear or Two.
Throw in some Emptiness.
Mix them up, till I’m Blue.
Keep them under Cover.
Near to My Broken Dreams.
Then sail My Boat of Sorrow,
on Waves of the Silver Streams.
I could always feel it happening,
when Loneliness was Around.
My Feet which were once steady,
kept sinking in the Ground.

Unnamed

if I can feel it
for someone else

it isn’t love
it’s loneliness

that makes me wish
that you would stay

that makes me blue
when you’re away

a carnival of animals
all flesh and bone and pheromone

can’t categorize our chemicals
so guess at words

like love
and home

I must not be the only one

Twelve Midnight

In a room with people who sleeps peacefully
I find myself wide awake
And thinking of my mistakes.
I couldn’t say that I regret them
But I wish I’ve known the outcome.
Their weight is too heavy
For my heart to carry
Day by day, it’s weighing me down
And I feel myself being drowned.

Without You #Poetry

All nothingness

Without you

The universe

Pretends to be alive

But it‘s all dead

from inside

Without you

Clock tick tocks

But time stands still

It‘s a pause– A long one

And just emptiness to fill

Without you
