loneliness — The Poet Sky

My Beautiful Sky

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

I know you can't hear me But I want to tell you What lies ahead For us

People won't understand you They'll label you as troublesome They'll keep telling you to try harder They'll make you angry because they think it's funny

They'll cast you out And drift away And you will feel like there's nowhere that you can belong

You'll twist yourself into a bizarre shape Not you, not anyone A perversion of what you think others want Never quite what you want to be

You're going to get tricked and betrayed Hurt and abused You'll end up feeling so hopelessly alone You're going to want to give up so many times Before you finally see what you've been missing

You're going to find the person inside you That you will love with all your heart A person you will proudly show on your outside every day, without reservation

You will embrace what you love Your interests, your passions And find the people that accept them That accept you

It's going to take a lot of pain A lot of loss, a lot of heartbreak But one day, you will know acceptance You will know belonging

You will hear your voice and love it You will see the real you in the mirror And finally be able to say without reservation or doubt

I love you My Beautiful Sky

I Am Important

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 10:56:41 +0000

All my life over and over people have told me that I'm not important

They ignored what I had to say Stayed ignorant of my feelings Refused to understand me Scolded me for talking about my problems

It wasn't everyone but it was enough people to make me feel like I didn't matter

It's so much easier to hold it all inside rather than facing that rejection from the ones I love

But I must remember that the people that love me...

Want me to share the things I love care about how I'm feeling work hard to understand me try to help with my problems

They care about me They love me And to them

I am important

Be Who You Are

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Not long ago You were always alone And no matter how you tried Nothing seemed to change that But you changed so much Trying so hard to fit in To be accepted To find somewhere to belong

Then one day you realized That after so much pretending You had no idea how to be who you are

I know what that’s like Because I was always alone Constantly changing so I could belong

So please believe me when I say that I want you to be who you are Not the face you created because you don’t have to pretend anymore

I truly hope you will take time to get to know the real you and when you’ve found them, I hope too that you will be who you are

A Place Where You Can Be Loved

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

You’ve been places where you weren’t appreciated but you stayed anyway because you had nowhere else You’ve been places where you were cast out and you were scared because you didn’t know what to do

You’ve been places where you were another face and you stayed quietly because you wanted to belong

Now you’ve found a place where you can be loved so I hope you stay and let yourself be yourself

Reliable Love

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Cast aside again and again and again and every single time you felt like nothing They convinced you that love couldn’t be counted on that it wasn’t for you that it was so easily removed

But that’s not true You can count on us We’re always here for you and our love is reliable

I hope you always know that we will never cast you aside and the love you have here will never ever die

Kindness to Show

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

When you’ve been hurt it’s hard to recover and easy to push others away as you seek safe shelter But when you’re feeling down people will be there if you give them the chance they’ll show that they care

It’s okay to trust them people won’t always hurt you everyone has bad days they’ve been there too

Life isn’t always as bad as you think it’s going to go sometimes, people will surprise you and you’ll find that they have kindness to show

You Can Belong Here

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 11:00:00 +0000

On the outside staring through glass calling, to no avail feeling like you’re second class When people talk you can’t understand you try to speak, but they dismiss you out of hand

Others get it smiling, laughing with a friend you want nothing more than to feel like you don’t have to pretend

So you move on searching for someplace where you can be more than just another face

But we will welcome you You don’t have to fear Please, come in and join us Because you can belong here

My Emotions Don’t Work Right

Mon, 29 Nov 2021 11:00:00 +0000

I was so excited to see you that I jumped for joy and squealed But when I ran to greet you You backed away in fear I didn’t understand what you said I tried to be happy for you But I didn’t feel anything So you got up and left

I wanted to tell you I love you So I found the right words But when I spoke them to you You pushed me away

I don’t know why I’m this way My emotions don’t work right But someone will understand and accept me the way I am

The Story Behind My Emotions Don’t Work Right

How Many Times?

Mon, 15 Nov 2021 11:00:00 +0000

How many times have I repeated the same words to an empty room to feel like someone’s listening? How many times have I made the same arguments to someone who isn’t there to feel like someone cares?

How many times have I devised a different way to express an idea to feel like others will listen?

How many times will I walk the same path until I finally stand up and start to speak?

Deep Down

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 11:06:21 +0000

Deep down inside is a world I don’t show full of darkness without light to cast a shadow I want to break free but the chains are too strong shackling me to the guilt of all the times I did wrong

Holding me back from happiness Forcing loneliness down my throat Shoving my mistakes in my face Tearing away any spark of hope

I can’t break the chains I can’t fly away to safety No matter how much I want it No one else can save me

On the outside I’ll smile Even if my own words can’t save me I’ll take the light I make in the dark and hold it aloft for others to see

Because Deep Down inside where the light can’t go is a dark and empty world that I never want anyone else to know
