Alone this Christmas.

Alone this Christmas.

How was it that I ended up in an empty space to call home?
 

I realise I am alone in my giving. I'm alone in the loving.

 

Where is my tribe, where are my people?

 

Like a species unknown to the rest of the forest.. invisible.

Yet the birds and the bees feast from me.

 

No reciprocity.

 

Oh nurturer, is this meant to be it for you?

 

To stand alone is not feared. But to go unnoticed is terrifying.

 

Why does my body shed tears for this, why does it hurt so?

Hi Punzy, those suffering awful loneliness can feel worse at Christmas being surrounded by images of family get togethers and group celebrations. Even when other people are present loneliness can feel greater if you feel that you can´t express yourself or if your thoughts, feelings and emotions are undervalued and unrequited if that makes sense. An interesting, important write. Merry Christmas to you. xx
