Lost

Feel lost

The rivers
Beckon me
The trees beckon me
The park
As well
The sun is out
The birds they sing
The day is nearly two pm
I feel so lost
I don’t know why
This emptiness apathy
Prevails inside
Could it be the tablet
The doctor prescribed
Could it be my emotions are null
And void
Could it be
The lack of sleep
Or friends alike
Or seeing family
Would be so neat
I see this is how lonely
Empty feels
It’s not a nice feeling
But I still recluse
Push people away
And drown out
Family next door
Bbqs with music
Or my tv now
So yes I know what E for empty feels
And L Is for lonely is it’s only friend
In that happy coloured
Alphabet we see
On wall chart
In some school class
With the teacher
Doing roll call now
And sing song now

Hi Julie, after my service in Vietnam I suffered badly from PTSD so I can relate to how you feel. Then one day I discovered Self enquiry and meditation which has totally changed my life and filled me with joy. Hope you find your way through this, my friend....Peter

Look deep inside be true to yourself with self live and honesty nothing else matters- be good to yourself don’t follow the hum drum of society it only cages you- truth will set you free- blessings for you 🌹

When I feel like that, not often but it happens, I get out into the open, which is exactly what you have done. I always find the natural world acts as a bridge. I could relate to this poem. Thank you.

I don’t often feel like this but when I do it’s like I don’t function as normal
