Alone

As I woke up covered in a cold sweat, I stood straight up the stone look of fear still lingered in my eyes. I lay in my bed staring into the darkness that lingered above my head. as I stared blankly into the darkness something hit me. I realized that I was alone. not only in my room but in life. I told myself I was fine being alone. that changed the moment the deafening silence dug its icy claws into me. I was tired of staying up all night alone. laying alone in my bed with my thoughts I yearned for something else. I wanted a purpose.I still want a purpose. A person I could give my everything to.

I saw a lot of myself in this writing, the feeling of loneliness that prevails the beautiful moments in life. It can even leave one hollow, like their existence does not matter and that they are better off dead. The first sentence really shows how rapidly realization hits. But, solitude can even bring out the best in us. We all want to mean something and we will find our purpose, often in the least expected ways. Wonderful story!

Thank you kindly for you time. The sad truth is some people the realization hits them very hard which leads to depression which not everyone can stand back up from that hit.
