404 Feelings not found

A look at the inside of my head when I am depressed and alone, with a bit too much free time... I hope you enjoy!

Home is supposed to knit us together, keep us whole and happy.

But what if being home rips me at the seams?

How will I cope?

Where will I go?

My bones carry the weight of my loneliness,

As my bed wraps me up in a deathly embrace.

With no one around,

The darkness whispers my thoughts out loud.

Creating the perfect storm of destruction.

My mind swims to the farthest depths,

I pull the sheets back over my head.

My mother walks in, her sweater sleeve pulls at the covers.

She hugs me again, and I'm crying.

I was a survivor of isolation.

And my mother is the lifeboat.

She pulls me into the kitchen.

Pours me some tea and makes some eggs.

And i’m still crying.

My isolation turns back time.

I am five again,

A five year old with the emotion of someone much older.

Crying in my mothers arms while the eggs burn and the tea gets cold.

I think its a wonderful poem , you described what so many feel , the loneliness and the sadness of the modern life , with trillion of friends all over but at the end of the day , you feel emptiness , alone. Only your mom could lift you , could hug you and be for you . I love your emotions here , you described them so well Sara
