Raw emotions are those emotions that hit us right in the gut, in the immediate aftermath of some consequential event.

I have been feeling so different lately. I do not understand what is going on, to be honest.

I could not find any inspiration to write for the very first time.

Yet I finally did this poem.

In which I have released many emotions in very few.

Somehow I managed to begin each verse with a word that starts with the letter "A", though I repeated a few. It was not even my intention. 

Happy weekend.

Alone I stand, a hollow shell, Aching void, where emotions dwell. Absent joy, like a fading ember, Abyss of numbness, I remember. Aimless wandering, lost in space, Aching echoes, a vacant trace. Aching silence, an endless chasm, Ardent longing, a vanished prism. Abandoned dreams, like whispers gone, Aching heartbeats, a muted song. Ashen skies, devoid of stars, Aching soul, behind closed bars. Aching thoughts, adrift and cold, Absent warmth, as stories unfold. Amidst the shadows, I remain, Aching, empty, in silent pain. Altered reality, a desolate air, Aching for solace, a silent prayer. Alone in the emptiness, I find, Aching echoes of a restless mind. As I navigate this vast expanse, Aching emptiness, my circumstance. Alone, adrift, with nothing to hold, Aching, yearning, in the chill untold.

I can feel the ache and pain in your words.. I really think you need to talk to someone about what is on your mind.. you expressed a lot of sadness and wanted to be found and not wanting to be alone... I hope you can find a good therapist to talk to who can help you with these thoughts.. Remember you are neve alone..

The meaning of your poem is easy to understand and maybe you need to show them your poem so they can understand how you feel..

I'm always surprised of how you can understand the meaning of my poems and how I feel without even knowing me. It's crazy that you notice what others who know me don't. Maybe you're right and I should talk to someone about this. Yet definitely talking to a therapist is not an option.. Thanks as always for reading and commenting on my poems. I really appreciate you.
