You know that feeling when you're in a social event
and that feeling of loneliness just ... hits you?
I'm sure that a lot of people would feel sad,
hurt, or maybe even, i don't know, mad.
I'll tell you what i feel in those moments.
First of all, there are several emotions i experience.
Not fighting to be the biggest one,
but just peacefully existing next to each other.
That brings us to the first emotion; peace.
I feel like, for a minute,
i don't have to worry about the fact that the people should
care for me, or pity me, or worry, of feel sorry.
They live perfectly fine without me,
and that makes me quite happy.
If something ever happens to me,
regardless of what it is,
they won't need me.
They don't have to not look out for me
for me to know that they don't need me.
I'm sure this kind of situation would make some people feel
different about this than i do,
but i kinda like the sensation of peace.
Because i rarely feel peace with all those never ending,
racing thoughts.
I also feel a bit empty, like i don't have to say anything.
Whatever i say, it won't matter, because i don't either.
I don't feel bad empty though.
Just that nothing has to be said in that moment,
because nothing will matter enough.
I feel a little sad too,
but that is more of a background chattering.
I'm used to the sad feeling by now,
and i've began to appreciate the sad.
I like it now. I just live in the moment of no words mattering,
not me mattering, and me just quietly living.

Feeling that one doesn't matter is a sad thing. Looking at the world as if nothing matters. A rather dark poem. Sad
I’d like to reply to you comment, since this is the first poem I ever made and published. I sincerely hope you liked it, as I was quite nervous posting this. Tips are always appreciated, as I’m new to writing!
You did well the feeling came through strong and clear. If the emotion comes through the poem was well written
"Whatever i say, it won't matter, because i don't either...." Words of despair. Feeling rejected by others. "me just quietly existing...." This stresses again the feeling of not being cared for, not being desired. Basically, humans seek completion and this can only come through acceptance by others.
Hi, I’d like to reply to your comment! I suppose I didn’t make a very good poem then, because my goal was to explain that loneliness can be peaceful and nice. I have read a poem of yours, safe to say I liked it :). Since I’m new to writing and not a native English speaker, I’d love it if you’d have tips or things like that. Thank you for your comment!
Thank you. May I point out that the word "existing" usually points to some frustration, as opposed to living happily. Having said that, peace can also come through retiring away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
