This song articulates my pain... Please don't leave Whisper some peace to me I weep Please don't go Give me some hope today Have you ever been alone all by yourself Even when someone else is near you Sometimes they seem so far away And nothing can comfort you No nothing Dear God make me a bird today So maybe I could fly away From all this pain that fathered me I feel like an old man and I'm still under age Yeah the rags of my heart are silently bleeding Like loons crying, the sound is eerie Like slaves longing to be shaded The lamp is bright but the metal is faded I know that sometimes you win But most of the time I get this feeling that I'm losing And the cruel, cruel essence of loneliness I believe this must be my portion in life If there really is a hereafter and after all Maybe a moment of grace could bring the gates of heaven near I wish someone could tell me, have I wept these tears in vain? But even then there's this loneliness This loneliness So please don't leave Be kind to me Please I weep And please don't leave, believe in me Please Feel like I'm swinging to and fro Like a pendulum or a metronome If you swing too close to the edge you know They say that usually you will swing alone Swing alone, yeah Dear God make me a leaf today Because deep inside there's so much pain So maybe I could float away While the wind is old and still at play Put your wisdom and pride down and feel It's an old cliché be brave and bold When you step out onto the plank You've got to forget about how much weight it holds I know that sometimes you win But most of the time I get this feeling that I'm losing And the cruel, cruel lessons of loneliness I believe this must be my portion in life Why is it taking me so long to find love They all wanna know Have I been completely healed But the chains are still attached They lie rusted on the floor Still enslaved to this loneliness This loneliness Is anybody out there at all that understands the pain? This loneliness gets in your mind Almost makes you feel insane Feel insane Madness Almost makes you feel insane Can hardly think on the inside Is there anybody, anybody out there at all? Anybody, anybody? Yea-ea-ea-ah Anybody, anybody, anybody.
I can relate. That's why we help people out on this. I was feeling lonely last night then i just jump on here and reach out to some guys, provide some encouragement and give them my little experience. @IGY we are both owls at heart so we will both fly away and be content owls one day lol. Pray. Help others. Having gratitude for what you have. These things help me avoid the pit of self pity and loneliness. That pit where my ego negative self talk rips me to shreds. I am a child of God. I am enough.
Thank you Warren. The fact you feel the pain in my heart within yourself, is tremendously powerful and a great comfort. Hurt by society? Yes, for sure. But nothing society has done comes close to the hurt I experienced from my father!
I helps that you can relate bizket. You are right, helping others does mitigate the loneliness a little. Great picture dude!
I am so sorry to hear that. Society is pretty bad, but there are people who seek values truly worth seeking though, and those are the most valuable people. Why would you want to appease those who aren't valuable like that?
Society has been a filthy sh*t?... So what?... We have each other right here. A place when i have wrote things that i wouldn't dare to say anywhere else for fear of being given the "eye"... Here we are supportive with each other. We are all here if you need us... It's time to bury the past and build a better future for ourselves... Do you want a shovel?
Do you wanna know why we are alone?... Because right now we are broken and in pain... We are too much intense and too much deep right now... Let's heal ourselves and the company will come Patience my friends...
I love this song, this is how I feel everyday. Strangely this song made me feel bit better today as I now know that you are feeling like this too. So I am not alone amongst my lonely feelings anymore Great to know that Igy. I always looked for an outside person to fill in the vacuum there is inside me. Last week I understood that this is the wrong way as people leave all the time. Some of us however know how to grow love inside ourselves and radiate out... I am wondering if that could be the solution to that lonely feeling in my life.
It is the solution to build love from within. The only way I've been able to do that is through spirituality with God. Whatever God that works for you, build trust in that. Works for me. I love myself a lot more. I still get lonely but I have that Person to recourse to and know I am enough.
I'm here to say that I've seen you contribute so much on these forums, really. It's hard to express this consistent kindness you show around here. You are a superb human being, but guess what, this world wants to extract what is best from us. Then show it! Show them all that your imperfections are what make you special, what gives a solid hold to your character. We're all flawed, but we're here, on a constant seek journey of improvement. Courageous are those who face their fears and step out of their confort zone! I wish you best, brother..
Dear @Lucid™, Thank you for your lovely words. I am afraid I am a terribly flawed human being, but I appreciate your kind words. I somehow missed this when you posted it and I have only just read it. So I send apologies with belated thanks.
Well that put to words how i'm feeling today =/. Oh well. Such is life! Stay Strong, -Slylen You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead. George Lucas
