I'm Not Alone

 

 

 

I'm Not Alone

 

Today begins with the sun shining

brightly yet not sharing its warmth yet.

I am searching

for what I have lost...  my passion.

My zest for life has been stolen.

Snatched away in my prime.

Broken as my body with this pain...

this endless pain circling always.

Creeping along with my memories

wandering the empty fields.

Though I find I am not alone

in my loneliness.

I am not the only one who is lost.

There are others, many others.

Searching, seeking and longing

for who they used to be.

We meet in a virtual existence,

strangers united through pain,

and loneliness.

We share, we learn and we grow

from the nourishment we find here.

A community of misfits not good enough for

the outside world.

No, we are better.

For we know pain, we know suffering

and we know how to comfort others.

We are blessed to know this pain.

Blessed to breathe this new breath of life,

to exist.

 

We are not alone.
