Falling Apart Every Time

Christmas... It should be jolly and full of excitement...

Yet why do I feel so empty?

Could it be because the new year is approaching and I fear...

Fear for another year of sorrow and pain

To let someone in my life again and have them shatter me in every way possible

Christmas saddens me for the sole purpose of people being fake

I see more than what they think they are portraying...

This holiday time makes me feel broken

I don't want to have to brace in the lies that others play in

Happiness... I truly do want that...

I just know that happiness isn't being alone and falling apart every time

So, where do I go from here?

I don't like Holidays. I do my best to smile and survive the days. Hard to be around joyful people when you want to be alone and quiet. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Yes, it is hard... But, it can be accomplished.

I do it for the kids. Smile and gifts for kids. I work retail. Little time to enjoy the holiday.

[Corrupted Rose]

Ah, work can surely get in the way of a lot of things.

This is a sad but beautifully well written poem. Nobody likes being alone, and thats what makes all of us anything but alone. Good work:)

Very good poem, sad, but oh so true and many readers will be able to relate. Yet I CHALLENGE you to not be sad for your greatest love, has yet to be had. Be patient and you will someday find the greatest love you have ever known, probably when you least expect it. Stay strong. Great piece, thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas.

Thank you! You are very right and I will remember that. Thanks for the advice. There are so many other people in the world who will give me the time of day I ask for and the thought of that excites me. Merry Christmas.
