Aches and Pains

by XPY

“My heart ached. These people were full of joy and happiness, and here I was, isolated; alone. I was simply overlooked, they had no idea i was even there. They didn’t know who i was. I wasn’t sure I did either But in the end, did that even matter? Who or What you are? I no longer thought it did. But when did my opinion- what i thought- ever count? No one else knew I was here … And for that I was glad; I did not want to speak with anyone. I was filled with a certain kind of misery. The kind where guilt eats away at the soul; it devours the strength and darkens the light. It was the kind of feeling that fills you up, to the point where forgiveness can’t find its way through.”

Notes

I don't remember when I wrote this or who I was when I did, but I remember that feeling like I could feel it now. Maybe I can. I'm not so sure what I'm feeling these days.
