That eereie feeling of being single
Knowing all are mingling to the jingle
I should have been used to it now
But it feels like a new wound still.
Left as the last one to be picked
Knowing you don't belong where you belong now
But you've got no choice
But to draw that smile
Cover your frown
Or keep it deep down
For another day of therapy later
It's filling up fast
In the deep down
Where you keep all
The thorny frowns
Its getting harder
To move or move on
Life is like this ?
I often wonder
Why is it called a gift
When I cry to sleep
Hardly any slumber
More dark dreams
Night terrors they call
Sweetly named after
I am cold and in pain
Broken all along.

A lot of pain that hides great sensitivity. Every good wish and success.
Nice work! I love it!
What a way to show feeling for self and others at the same time. Good job.
"Knowing you don't belong where you belong now" - powerful line that is so relatable. I think we have all found ourselves feeling that at some point on our journey in life. I feel your ache in this poem. Loneliness is hard.
Totally relatable! The reader will ache for you. Have faith. Everything is a matter of right-timing. Every relationship-- the ones that last and the ones that don't-- help us in our spiritual evolution. Self-awareness and self-analysis are hard, but grow over time. Cultivate Self-Love. With that, anything is possible. And continue to follow your passion. You have a true talent for writing. ⚡💙⚡
