That Lonely Feeling

When people lose their trust in you.
When people you love seem so distant.
When the people you want to know don't want to know you.
That's the lonely feeling.
When those who you care for don't really see it.
When the closest chaps take you for granted.
When your brain suppresses the wishes of your heart.
That's the lonely feeling.
When emptiness surrounds you.
When you've got nothing left to believe in.
When they blame you for things you haven't done and for the things you are incapable of doing.
That's the lonely feeling.
But worst of all... It's the fear of never making an impact. Will they remember you after you go? Will they bother to think of you? Will they ever want to meet again?

The troubles of life, I tell you. The complexities of balancing two worlds. The utter confusion you must be in right now. Empathise. I don't need the sympathy. It'll probably be fake, anyway. Why am I being so obscure? You tell me. Aren't you the one who got me here?

When you realise you're complaining about yourself, to yourself.

That's the fucking lonely feeling.

"When you realise you're complaining about yourself, to yourself." -- thats why i was up from 11:15 to 2 am on a tuesday night!! i had to resort to studyin physics (!!!!!) to fall asleep!

Who is anonymous?

But yes.. thank you. I guess you are right. I guess it's not always silver-lined-dark-clouds you should look for. Cause it's not just one cloud. When the clouds come along, they cover the entire sky and darken it like crazy. That's when you realise that you gotta stop looking at the sky and focus on the things that are around you. Take interest in the things that SHOULD be more important to you. Clouds come and go. So do people. But unlike people, clouds just look the same to me. And unlike the clouds, you miss people. So..

Pardon the convolution. Disengaged as always.

And 'feeling strangely fine' are three words I love using together.
Semisonic, yes? =)

Somewhere there is someone that dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile, so when you are lonely remember it’s true, someone somewhere is thinking of you.

We're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for.

I'm always here for you.

semisonic, indeed.
and maybe if you can just remember all the good...throw yourself, without hesitation, into everything that thrills you, yet scares you at the same time...you'll find yourself a VERY different outlook.

Hey, this is endless_empath/kiyoshi.

Just checking your blog as I've recently just checked my old journal in LJ (yeah, I've changed. Again. To this one, making it the 4th... or is it the 5th?) and noticed your reply there only now.

But then again, looks like you have no trouble with the image heading thing now so... sorry 'bout not replying.

George said...

Kiyo!!! Haha, you change your blog a bit too much. Can't really keep track!
And yea, after much random-typing things out it HTML, I managed to get the header up.. So it's cool! =)
