Requiem of Solitude

Alone….in a home full of people,… is that possible? Alone I wait in my personal 
lair of gloomy despair hoping for the  light of aspiration to appear before me to 
some how save me…. Save me…save me  from my quickening demise 
inspired  by self hatred. Its lonely in here, and I have no one to blame I alone bare 
the shame of the erosion  of  my faith in anything. I’ve tried to take the road less 
traveled but all the baggage that I have wouldn’t allow me that freedom… 
freedom… freedom to walk around with a continuous smile that I’ve wanted to 
display so dearly these last 21 years. But fear holds me back because I’m afraid 
that if I allow anyone to see me enjoying life and living freely they’ll want to take it 
from me. Hurt is the only feeling I feel I’m worth being given . It hurts living like 
this so I sometimes wonder how it would feel if I didn’t exist. And yet some flicker 
of hope lives in the back of my mind hoping through time I’ll one day feel worthy 
of receiving  the feelings that I now deny any entry into my life.
