Solitude
Posted on 2003-06-23
Being alone and housebound isn't necessarily a bad thing. I can live with solitude and I can cope with loneliness. After nearly 3 years I've got used to it, and it's not all that bad.
Of course I miss being around people, who wouldn't??? I was never a loner when I was growing up, but even when I was around other people I always felt alone and lonely. I had friends, but at times I felt like I didn't fit in.
Empty.
Incomplete.
In solitude, I can find comfort. In loneliness, I try and find peace.
Emptiness is all that I'm feeling right now though, and in some way or another this emptiness is actually worse than pain. Worse than heartache.
It's almost as bad as feeling broken.
Does anybody have a plaster???
