A Letter To and From a Lost Soul

Sitting in the middle of the floor
thinking-just realizing that
I will only ever be basically happy
never extremely happy.
I never meant anything to you
only just realized that also.
I used to write that realization breaks into fear,
then into tears
now I don't even know my own words.
With everything I know I am still confused.
I want to be loved and to love
-freely.
But even that simple thought becomes distorted with
time, age, and actions.
I feel the need to be understood by one human being
but understanding is an illusion
something that doesn't happen
doesn't exist.
I'm an insignificant person never meant to feel the strength
of arms encircling me.
I feel as if this a play I go to see every night with the same actors
and only witnessing a few discrepancies.
Sometimes it is comforting to think of things I've done.
I suppose I'm lying; I never think of them
only the things I'll never do
the feelings I'll never feel.
I'm a useless, usable, throw away when you're finished kind of person.
Never going anyplace
not even going backwards either
sort of silently marching on in one place
one tiny, square piece of life.
The only thing I'll accomplish is my death
and I can't count that as an achievement.
You want to tell me I'm special
-don't kid the world
we already know the truth
we already know the lies and the outcome.
An endless play; never getting reviews
An endless cycle; never deviating slightly.
Maybe it will stop on a whim, but not mine
A letter to and from a lost soul...
