I work in my garden, alone, But for bees that communicate Satisfaction with my efforts. The neighbors whisper and watch, Looking for an error, a stagger, Never once caring for more than gossip. I live alone in a house of people, Never noticed, never seen, The dust is my intimate friend. I watch the sunset from my window, Its golden light illuminating my Loneliness, I wish and dream. I had a friend once, He as golden as the sun. He left like all the others, without a storm. He was beautiful, rich, Filled with ideas to make the world better. As my world collapsed in tears, he left. Gold sunshine will return at sunset, Not always there, but returning To give me a kiss of hope. The neighbors will talk, and I will freeze Like a rabbit before the fox. Let them talk, I am deaf to them now.(February 2nd, 2016)

I can relate to the feeling of being alone when completely surrounded by people. Loneliness is a condition in your heart not of circumstances

Haunting is a perfect way to describe it. I couldn’t find the words! It’s also very expressive.

Beautiful lines.
And, talking about loneliness, i often remind myself that once i accept and love myself completely, then i may be alone but never really lonely. Loneliness stems from a lack of awareness that being unique, we are meant to be enough.

Blooms because she blooms
Pays herself no thoughts
Asks not if she be seen”

Sad. My favorite part is about being alone in a house full of people and being seen as dust.

I know how it is, yeah, you might be thinking I’m only a teenager but I live in a house with 6 younger siblings. And whenever I feel really down I think there are people who love me in this world and I am their sunshine! And there will always be God right by your side no matter what. This peace of pure artwork made me think maybe I don’t get noticed 24-7, but I’m still loved and I should be more grateful. Keep writing!!!!!!!!!<3
