I feel like a real lonely seeker
Looking for happiness in all the wrong places
Finding only lonliness
So I feel like I'm some kind of lonely seeker
Finding all kinds of lonliness
In every aspect of my smile
When I look in the mirror it's all I see
When I look at others
I find it too
Deep lonliness falling through me
I can't feel anything
Because I'm empty
No longing even for happiness anymore
Everyone seems so happy today
I wonder why
There is nothing, absolutely nothing
Happy I can see
When in this state of mind
Because what I am is just a lonely seeker.

Unfortunately Joy, we are all alone really.  You have yourself though and when you think about it, you are the one you have to wake up to everyday for the rest of your life, you are the one who has to deal with the consequences of your actions, you  are the one that knows you best, and you are the only one you can't run away from...embrace the lonliness you feel and the friend you see in the mirror.....because that friend is the best you will ever have.  Keep writing!

Joy,

Well Sheilan said it all and so brilliantly  . the only thing i will add is to never give up and fight for what is yours. and love yourself, for if you don't you'll never be able to love another. i hope things get better for u...may god's love show u the light...

Yeah, I see you're lonely...
But I'm trying to make this place homely--
A lil' bit of love, here and there,
Myself I shove, but write with care,
I hope I can do what intent is true--
Rid that ugly loneliness from you.

Joy I have come to learn that happiness is a state of mind.  I've had everything and I've had nothing.  I've been happier with the nothing.  I'm with Sheilan - look in the mirror - your best friend will be looking back at you.  Also look inside yourself - there is happiness there waiting to be found.  Excellent job of putting your feelings into words.

Thank you all
For replying with such care
Just knowing everyone here
Is there for me
Makes me want to open up more and share
All my hopes, dreams,
And also despair.
So thank you all for being here
I think of you all all day long
And when I look in the mirror tonight
I'll think of your calling song
That person staring back at me
Is my best friend
And comforter
Someone I know quite well
Inside and out
She'll blink twice from the tears
Forming in her eyes
And her lips will move in a "thank you"
To everyone at the Pub
Who made her see what she already knew
Hidden in the back of her mind
That the person in the mirror
That beautiful, caring, talented face
Staring back so kind...
Is me!
Oh, and I think that lonliness
Will not be there
For a while now,
As long as...
As long as my reflection
Cares.


Thank you EVERYONE!  It is nice to know you are there for me!!!!!!!!!  Boy, that was quite long wasn't it?    

(Hey I'm smiling again!  And I'm glad!)

Joy
