Here you are
lonely in self
lonely around others
divided
like leaves lost in the wind
needing to be around
those leaves they can connect to with more ease
needing to feel
a connection
a link
but there’s nothing there
a brick wall
lost in the mind
nothing to say
divided
want to be around someone
I can connect to a bit easier
feel a little less lonely again
in my mind
sometimes feel lost and divided
but having someone there
who I know better
Who I’m closer to
would make me feel
better
when I’m not feeling that connected to me
What am I meant to say to other people

It is a sad feeling to feel disconnected from the world, it is hard to communicate with people especially if it is other people you are missing and longing to reconnect with, a sad but lovely write, nicely expressed and written, hope you have a lovely day
Thankyou for kind words .. I live in supported housing but still even now can struggle to know what to say sometimes . It is hard when your disconnected from yourself , aswell .. makes it harder to try and connect to others . Miss my twin sister , a lot , sometimes .. yes it can be hard , when you are missing people
Thanks for the kind comment
I hope you can have nice day too
You are very welcome and thank you,
I think .. that some people are also easier to talk to , than others
And I guess we can’t always connect to people
That's very true
There is a strong feeling of alienation and separation in this poem that feels a bit sad. Nicely expressed
Powerful work.
Your poetry, my friend, is a window into an experience many people have never had and I really admire your courage in sharing. The sadness and the longing come through deeply in this. I could feel your pains as I read it. An excellent write. You are in my prayers, friend. 🙏🖤 I hope you have a lovely evening. 🌹👏
Thankyou I really appreciate your kind words and support .
I think , our feelings can get in the way , sometimes when we’re around others . It isn’t always easy for me to talk to people .. depends really , on how I’m feeling and on the person I’m around . Sometimes it’s easier
But yeah it’s definately nicer to be around my twin sister , etc ..
It can be lonely yeah when I feel disconnected and missing people at same time
Thanks so much
I am sure that you will move on Yellow Rose and see new people who will bring joy to your life.
