The quiet is unbearable.
My mind gets so LOUD
when there is silence.
Screaming through my heart
and striking my soul.
The words make me cry because
how true they are.
Telling me how lonely
I really am.
Myself hurts me more
than anyone ever could.
Why do you think I drown
myself out with pretending?
If we pretend to be happy
and ignore our screams
then everything will be okay.
The biggest lie.
Every moment of silence,
every time it's quiet,
every day,
you feel alone
beyond all describing.
Alone is
the worst to feel.
You aren't just alone,
you are alone in your heart.
Where the core of your being is.
Every-time I see a lover
it's bittersweet and raw.
Like a soft tipped poison arrow.
A warm sting but slowly
breaking your insides.
It really isn't fair.
Why do some people get to
feel such bliss while
others are tearing out
their everything.
Criticizing their existence,
happiness.
Hyperventilating because
it is so hard to breath without
hope.
Who cares how young or old,
everyone gets lonely.
It's not about sex or hormones.
Not about just having someone
because everyone else does.
What it is,
is the feeling of being whole,
hope and happiness.
Having someone there for you.
What it is,
what I want,
is love.

everyone wants and needs love maybe someday we will all find what we seek so fervently

This was very good. I think everyone wants love in their love. In fact, love (when it is true, real, and happy) is a need that keeps us sane and feeling wanted in this life. I think being loved is a subconscious goal all humans have. I am no different... I can certainly relate to this poem. It was very powerful, true, and deep.
I really liked the phrase: “My mind gets so LOUD
when there is silence.” That’s very descriptive and creative.
There were quite a few spelling mistakes, that would make the presentation better, if corrected (unbareable: unbearable, decribing: describing, poisen: poison, tareing: tearing, Critizing: Criticizing, existance: existence, Hyperventalating: Hyperventilating, and harmones: hormones.) Nevertheless, it was well written. Thank for your entry. Good luck in my contest.
