Poem -
Not forgotten but gone.
Nothing makes me wilt like knowing my existence is merely a fact.
Not special, not something to be celebrated by you.
How self centred, I hear you say!
How many times a week do you think of me, how many days do you extend a hand, a word?
Do you miss me when I don't?
Instead I sit in mostly silence.. wondering and pondering.
It is after all, a life I am used to.
But I often wish that the phonelog calls weren't all outgoing. I wish for the knock at the door, excited tea visit. I wish for others to miss me as I may miss them.
It doesn't exist does it.

Wow Punzy, what a relatable write. To be honest, I think this is something we can all connect to. It's in the nature of being human. What separates is those that are proactive and make their lives matter. A strive for self-actualisation. Sometimes, it can be closer than we expect. :) Enjoyed the read!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. It's really special to me that I can connect with others through my written words.
self actualiactualisation is journey I guess!
Have a great day 😊
What I`m here for XD. But yes, I like to muse on a sense of purpose in my writes too. I think you might like my poem On My Lonesome https://cosmofunnel.com/poems/on-my-lonesome-197071
It talks about society and its grey areas. Don`t feel obliged to check it out ;). Truly, I did enjoy this one!
Hello Punzy
I think you captured that feeling of isolation and misunderstanding from others brilliantly. How we can feel like we do all the work and no one appears to need us. A real feeling of loneliness in your lines

Soulful, honest writing. Pinned x
It's the way I can evaluate my own feelings.. I come to write when I am feeling strong emotions.. it's a great space here.. even more so when it's understood and appreciated by others.
Thank you
