Bedtime

by lostboundries

When I’m lying in bed,

I’m in the centre

With the thoughts in my head Spread

Like puzzle pieces scattered

My dark thoughts make me nonexistent in the mess

only you really matter

Sitting in my heart

The clock ticks forward

Like a graceful snail

Your image is circles

My hurricane of thoughts

Other people’s words

Cut through me like a Knife

Blades been left too long near the fire

Facing the music is harder

Than playing your own

Prolong the talk with loved ones

Zoning out; escapism In my head.

I sit still, till suffering Turns to Solace.

I blink and it’s morning,

Sweat blankets me in my bed

My family all ask

“Why do you sweat”

But I’m afraid to Face facts.

Ive gotten through another day

With your voices in my head.

I didn’t want to change this peice, no imagery goes with it because there is no image for what was in my mind when I wrote this. I could almost say that what was in my head was nothing-ness, a craving for more to be there. only quelled by the thought of you, whether that’s in past remembrance or in current. I do miss you but I just won’t go back, mabye youll always haunt my dreams as a reminder.

loneliness v.s simply being alone (my personal experince)

by lostboundries

loneliness is a privilege not many can afford to experience. I would have not have felt this way at all if you had spoke to me about this even one month ago. But as of recent I find myself craving the alone time. where I can just think and be (rather) content on my own.but as I slowly start to see the world that I live in and those that inhabit it and think of them. As a society of humans we are very dependent on one another. so much so intact that we also feel alone and suffer physical and mental effects of loneliness.

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible form of poverty. – Mother Theresa

Loneliness (which I have dealt with and still deal with) has run rampant for a large majority of my life. at times I felt as if I was victim to my own thoughts and memories, so self absorbed in looking down the timelines of things such as facebook and twitter. However what appeared as a more apparent problem was the fact that some of my memories from a bit of a ways back had seemed to somehow comeback front and center and were now somewhat more apparent then before. I found myself longing for human touch and feel, so much so to the point where I would do a lot of questionable things just to be around (unjust and wrong type for me) people. it felt as if I utterly needed there touch just to get through another day but that couldn’t be father (in my case).

Isolation is the one sure way to human happiness

-Glenn Gould

A man in isolation, free from the burdens other humans provide. is in a temporary paradise, stay too long and the thing you wish to get so far away from may end up becoming what you crave most. In isolation it is very easy to feel lost, hard to feel any sense of personal headway at all. there inlays where most people give up, deciding you need to work on yourself, pushing those toxic away is the easy part. In all that lies a more serious problem. the problem oof how will you manage to work on yourself all by yourself. most people just simply find a new click and change there outward appearance and try to act for as long as possible as if they’ve changed. In the process convincing themselves as well that they have done what they think they have. Spend any long term amount of time with that person and you will find they are no more different then when you first heard from them, rather, they might now be worse off, Having spent all that energy putting up a facade of sorts they have none to actually work on themselves.

What lies beyond “soul searching” as a simple saying? lots and lots of time looking into yourself, usually in isolation because if you spend all your energy in pursuit of a higher sense of self, most often then not, You have very little energy to spend on anyone else.

The act of Isolation and being alone while not for everyone. Is (In my opinion) extremely rewarding and as mentally sound as practices can be. it rewards me with a strong sense of self, as well as quite frankly giving me the needed rest I must have from people in order to pursue another day.
