Alone

As a youngster, I felt alone to the core, 
Loneliness filled my very being and soul.
Oozing out relentlessly; no peaceful shore,
Nurturing and molding me, taking a toll;
Every part of me gave in, I had no control.

Karen Jones Date: 9/24/2023 1:16:00 PM This is so heartbreaking! Did you write then? This touched my soul as I have felt this way in youth too! hugs Login to Reply Alexis Y. Date: 9/24/2023 1:29:00 PM Hi Karen, I did, and it was my lifeline . It allowed me to express all of the feelings I kept bottled up inside. It did wonders for me. I experienced trauma as a kid. A person who I trusted took my innocence away. It messed me up big time. I appreciate that you visted my page.
