The new age of Modern Technology. My arse! It cannot fix that!

A Story by Onlyme

I sometimes wish. I was not me.

That I was someone else.
A different person altogether.

But nope. Here I am Me.

All the s**t, drama, everything

I have had to deal with in my life.

I think like everyone else.

Why me?

I understand and know in my head
and heart. No one has an easy life
at times in general.

But keeping your head above the parapet
of coping and living is
really hard at times to do and achieve.

As you constantly slipping into that
black hole of darkness and despair.
Like a strong magnetic force,
every little chance it sees
it takes and comes after you.

I try to go with the flow of life
and situations thrusted in my direction
and deal with them, best I can do.

Alas I am only human and can only cope
with so much, before it, all take a toll
on my heart, mind and soul.
And weakens my spirit too.

I write my prose poems and express myself
to get some relief, from all the stresses and strife.
And cry me to sleep other times. As ways of
coping with life's stressful situations.
No of us are immune to these situations.
It seems to be how you deal with them
and what your coping mechanisms are,

to that helps you. Survive living life and

the dramas that it fires at you at times.

As some humans turn to alcohol and drugs.
sex and gambling and other bad things that
don't help but make their situation worse longterm.

Or even make them commit suicide

as they have had enough of the pain

and suffering. And thinking that is the only way of peace

and harmony again in their life.

Sad and tragic. When ultimately they felt alone and lonely
and needed just some help and some support to see them
through a really difficult phase in their life.
And if they had that, they would still be alive today.
Sombering and true.

And that is basically what we all need in difficult times.
Support, understanding, help, love, friendship and trust.

And a caring soul with a listening ear.

As doing things on our own is very hard.

No man or woman is an island.

We really do need each other in this world.

Yeah, it's great to have quality time alone.

And do things you love that make you alone happy.

But in hours of need and woes,

we need each other.

But a lot of humans find it difficult to ask for help

and to communicate their need for assistance.

Even in this modern day and age.

What with all these electronic devices and ways to

communicate in general with each other.

It still happening. People die due to feeling and being alone

and lonely and depressed. How ironic is that?

The new age of Modern Technology. My arse!

It cannot fix that!

On this site let's make a difference in each other's life. Many of us come to this site to express ourselves. In doing so as Dawn says, we release some of the stress that life pours on us. Let us not do as so many of public platforms do, and belittle the efforts shown here. Let's encourage each other. Sure we can give critiques on the writing but let's not be cruel when doing so. I'm not the best writer, in no stretch of the imagination, but I enjoy writing and hearing what others have to say about my writing. But here's the thing, I don't write for others, I write for myself. Even if no one reads it or comments on it. I put it out into cyberspace and let it fall where it may. Who knows my little story, poem, or whatever may help someone. I know that it helped me just by writing it.

Dawn, thnx for your poem. I've read a few of them and they have intrigued me and gotten me to think about things that I may not have considered. Keep writing.
