Is it Just Me? |

Is it just me who wonders about these little things Like why you can be surrounded by loving friends And still feel utterly alone and lonely And why I wish to fly to the stars on wings of cloudy light But never to be, for I am chained to the ground Am I, I think, the only one who hears the echo As my words drift back to me Unheard Is it just me who can never truly feel the simpler things in life Tuned to the youth of a teen And yet wonder with a gallows humor How many people fell for the smile there And yet never touching my eyes Star maiden, that's my name you see But I'm losing that place in the sky And the landing won't be soft Is it just me who can't seem manage a single tear When I hear the names spoken Of my heart's family that is no longer here And yet cry for the crushed lily Thrown at my feet after performing On stage where the light shines on me And never reflects My darkness What do I want, people always ask, seeing me wander But when I finally think of an answer They're gone and I'm alone inside again The pain hurts so much And words never express the emptiness I know deep in my spirit and heart For what's the worth of whispering something That no one is around to hear? What do I want? Is it just me who feels this pain? This fright at loneliness? And this dread of losing companionship? Why doesn't anyone ever listen? To the things I don't say and always to the things I do? For if you really would know You'd remember that happy isn't there A tear isn't enough Neither is screaming at the top of my heart An embrace would warm me for a time But I'd be cold again soon after What do I want, the question whisperes Returning to me again All I know is the pain and reply to myself helplessly: "All I want is a friend." The world's closing in I'm fading away in a wash of people who don't seem to understand How much it hurts when no one replies to my questions And how much I want to cry But all I wonder is if there's someone out there Who would listen and tell me it all isn't true For the dream is just beginning, isn't it? Or is it just me? "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

Great poem, starmaiden. I especially loved the part about disappearing in a wash of people. Wow. Anyway, no, it's not just you. As whiskey said, all of us feel that way. The biggest cliche, and one of the biggest truths, is you have to learn to live with yourself. Once you're strong enough for that, you won't be as alone. Mike |

Your words really touched my heart. I think all people feel as you do at different times in their lives. The answers to our questions and yours are in us some place. The search for these answers is a journey to freedom. |
