Alone
You say you are alone. You tell others you are alone. But do you really know what alone is. Have you ever felt that you are the only one that isn't seen in the crowd. Do you feel like no matter who you are with, or who you are talking to everything has to be about them. Nothing ever about you. The definition of alone, without anybody else. If you are able to tell at least one person something you are never alone. There are times in life when we feel alone. We feel separated, secluded, lost, forgotten. But we really aren't are we? We're just different. Or at least some of us are. While some of us just want attention. They do anything for it. Change their sexuality so people will notice them and talk about them. All because they feel alone. So really are any of us really alone. Are any of us really "without anybody else?" We are all similar. Maybe not exactly alike as people think they are, but similar. Everyone everywhere have problems with themselves or others. Some just have more than others. And a select few of them choose to keep most of that hidden from the world they know. Also the people they know. Keeping everything to themselves. Having almost every word that comes off their lips be a lie. All because they don't want people to know their problems. These people can feel alone because they can't find someone who they can talk to and especially someone who they can tell everything to. These think of themselves being alone not as being without anyone. But more like being with people but them never noticing me, hearing me, listening to me. Certain people feel differently on different concepts. Alone is a very vast, complex concept with such a simple definition. With the simple mixing with the complex it makes people confused. Those who can see past the simple and think about the complex can figure out the meaning of this word. Not from what they read to be the definition. But from what their life has been like, watching others seeing their mistakes, making mistakes. Everything everyone does shows some sort of complexity even if it might be simple. There is always something from that simple thing that person does that people can look at and try to figure out that complex meaning for it. That's what alone is. Just another thing that people do. Its just one of the most complex things that they only see the simple and they stick with that. They don't look any further ever. They stop at the first thing they find. That is why people think they are alone. They stop once they think they are alone. But they aren't they make themselves feel alone when they aren't. They just stop and say to themselves, "I am alone!" No one should say this to themselves. Because the other thing about "alone" is that after that complexity you look back and realize it was just oh so simple. Simple because everything was related. At first it seemed simple because people don't look for anything. Then it was complex when they looked past the simple. After that when they were piecing everything together and looking back they realize "Wow. That was simple." So don't say you're alone when you know you're not. You may feel alone at times. But that is nothing to get depressed about it. Everyone feels alone at some time. You are never alone. There is always someone somewhere going through whatever it is you are. Maybe not the same exact thing, but similar because everything that has to deal with alone is linked so close together they seem to be completely different things.


Just a note: I hope that after you read this. If you feel alone. You start looking past the simplicity of this thing "alone" and search for the complexity of it. But while you do that. Say to yourself, "I am never alone."
