#friendless
I'm a little man curled up in a cardboard box, with a bowl in my hand. The bowl is empty, of course it is, yet my eyes still reflect the bright of hoping that some time it won't be. You might want to know what I beg for: I want at least one person to give me love, to care about me, to like me, to befriend me— will you be that person? No? Oh, whatever— I'm already used to that.

I'm still begging
I used to have friends. Got along with everyone. They laughed, Played with me Made me feel like one of them But now When I see them The memories are back “HA HA HA” I don't deserve them, as I lack.

Friendless
They Excluded You, no invitation was sent, no offer, of wanting to go, towards you was meant, they left you all alone, they left you behind, they forgot all about you, and that wasn't so kind, You are feeling sad and blue, not knowing what to do, You feel you have no friends, and In your mind, this is true, They are out having fun, Under the Hot, Blazing Sun, are you feeling left out, You are not the only one, I know how you feel, the betrayal is real, these fake *** old friends Could ****** hit the hills Sometimes it's not fair, They treated you so wrong, They really do not care, and I been done moved on, They Excluded You, but It's all good and well, I will find better friends, While ya'll go swim in hell B.R.

They Excluded You
I want love. You do too, do we all? No, Not me, to you. Apparently, I Don't exist. Do you? I could feel my love That I don't have - This being alone, Wearing the open air Like Nakedness. Vision dressed in Nobody, not even I. Prayers answer every god.

A Note to Love
Looking over your shoulder didn't know it was colder. Didn't imagine the pain didn't dance in the rain. Enjoy the sane every other day . Didn't want to see your back I would tell stories of how you used to be. Spend the days in your grave don't want to share your name. I couldn't count all my wishes in the rain. I want to be better than my past. Was it all a clapse of my maturity or is it something in this destiny showing me I'll never be set free. Or is it something blowing in the wind telling me I'll never have a friend.

I forgot what I forgot, So, I've moved on, And happily so. Was it someone's jibe, Taken at me sadistically, Or was it something else? Sorry, I forgot, I forgot that again, But it's perfectly fine.

Sorry, I Forgot
i pray i will be able to love those who i am afraid of loving for fear of seeming too sensitive. i pray i will be able to pick up the phone for someone who really appreciates my time because he will not hurt you. i pray i will be able to confess my emotions not cowering behind a facade. i pray i will be able to love you and i pray that i will not push you away. —he will not hurt you. you will only hurt him.

Look into my phone contacts, Now press recent; You'll see no calls to me, You'll only see a few out going calls, made from me, yet never returned, My words fall upon death ears, From the eyes of the humans to whom, I've lost their acceptance, either-or like a weaklen, I fell for their trick, I get lonely too at times, I think it would feel nice to hear   someone to call me just for a chat, No money to be a social butterfly, So there's no social lites there to try, Probably not a church either, because all the members already   have their own lives, sure you can   can call them up only to get voice mail, I have no one excited to see me, I have no one to catch me when                                                            I                                                   F                                             A                                       L                                   L,   I must have many falls, shown in my short comings, And it's really not a loss, when you're like me,   nothing great. I do suffer ruin, defeat, and failure, I'm coming apart at the seams, But you'll never hear my inward   screams, Just like the rise and the fall of the   tides, I've dropped and sanked down to   my knees, Then I'll get up again, only to   continue this sorrowful pattern, But I'll promise you this much: Upon my face you'll never assume the look of shame,                 disappointment,                                 ...or dejection, I won't give you that satisfaction, I'll hide it with all that's in me. (besides, I doubt that you'd care   enough to look upon me so closely) I came into the world lonely And I shall leave the world lonely. ~SacredInkedBlood

Why do I feel embarrassed, That no one has the heart to hold me? Why do I feel embarrassed, That no one has the guts to save me? Why do I feel embarrassed, That no one has a mind that can see me?

Weighed Down By Loneliness
What does it mean to be enough? To have the right stuff? To look good and feel tough? Am I weak or am I strong? Does anyone long to be with me? Stick with me? What's wrong with me? Who do I belong with then? Do I belong with them? Are they the right ones for me? When do I get to write my story? Can I right my wrongs? Do I have to write some songs? Belt out at the top of my lungs? Are my skills dung, like doo doo? Am I just **** at what I do? Is it true what they say? Am I always blue or am I yellow? Are we all racist or just prejudice? Can I be a soldier and a pacifist? Can I be selfish and an altruist? Is there a list of things I can't be? Well, I can tell you, There's a lot that you can't see. Some days, it's hard to breathe; I don't wanna eat, I just wanna grind my teeth; I wanna find some meaning; Hold a meeting with friends... Oh, wait... what friends? Am I in the right section? Do I have enough connections? Am I enough? Enough with the questions.

ENOUGH QUESTIONS
I never really liked Hugh Grant, 'til I saw him in "About a Boy", It's not as weird as it might sound; This lonely kid likes to hang around And play with Hugh Grant's toys. Wait, I didn't mean THAT! I meant CD's, And he teaches Hugh about life... Hugh's a loner & his life's a mess, The kid's mum is SO depressed, Thus their neuroses fit like peas. (in a pod) See, jerks in school chase the boy each day, ‘Cause he wears old, hippie clothes. One day he hides at Hugh Grant’s pad, Listens to music that’s kind of rad, So he shows up every day. Hugh and the lad start hanging out He buys him trainers, shows him what to wear. But soon, the kid wants Hugh for a dad, And though it makes Hugh selfishly sad, He kicks the poor kid out. "Killing me softly" is the Mum's fave song So the other kids beat him up. In a school concert, Hugh sings along. The mom is thrilled and cooks some Tofurkey, Hugh joins the crowd; Thanksgiving is quirky, And Rachel Weisz picks him up. She’s got a son who’s kind of ****** Over his Mum’s divorce and he tries to be Goth. He roughs up the boy and mom is stunned, 'Cos Hugh Grant lied about having a son So she tells him it’s a no go. In the end, Mum doesn't commit suicide, Though the kid DOES waste a duck, With a loaf of Mum's 10 lb., whole wheat bread. Everyone laughs and it clears their heads. Mum & Boy and others get glad, And the boy's mum finds him a new dad Rachel forgives the boyish Hugh, After seeing his good deed. He loves the kid, the mum and her. Everyone gathers for Xmas at Hugh’s’; He wears a paper hat and agrees: He's no longer an island and needs other folk. The Boy gets a pal and Mum no longer sulks. Everything is saved by the new Hugh Grant, And at least he doesn't wear LEATHER PANTS!

I'm torn appart, torn from the inside torn between two forces in me. I am most definitely a misanthrope: asexual, friendless, dysphoric, and even ugly. I struggle with life, but I especially struggle with life around others. You can call me shy or an introvert, but I think there's something more to it. Perhabs something in that desire to erase the whole human race and substitute it with a powerful computer maybe capable of thought, definitely of science, with luck art; most certainly not capable of love, and harm. An unmoved observer of the world would produce our random beauty with its ones and zeros, and none of the pain. Perhabs just my inability to enjoy being with others; they are my species yet sometimes I wish they were not. I've always been shy. I've always been an introvert. Maybe I've always felt alone, but not this alone. I've never been this alone. I've had friends, real life human friends too, but they are gone, I no longer feel them, they got tired of knocking at my walls for me to open up, relax, talk. I used to be able to talk to them, occasionally, but I no longer can. It's not their fault; I'm just being misanthropic, that's my thing now, they better just move on. But I do feel alone. I imagine myself being loved and it looks like a chimera: it has fear's wings and frustration's claws; it has overcooked thoughts' head and, worst of all, my body. I imagine my life alone and it looks so real I could touch it. It is here. This twenty years of preparation where a lie, design to sell me life as a worth living experience with friends and family. My friends are gone, they are gone because I made them leave, I am gone. My family is here but they are not with me, they would be better without me. Is this the conclusion, that life is not worth living and everybody is, or would be, better without me? Maybe it is. Maybe I should. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll see you around at the bottom of the sea.

Misanthrope in quest of affection

There's a tiering of people in life: Strangers, Acquiantances, and Friends. Strangers are people you know nothing about. Acquiantances are just strangers you just happen to know. Friends are just acquiantances you know too much about. Everyone is a stranger in the end. They are what they want you to believe; if true love is to trust someone with something that can destroy them completely as a person then the fact of the matter is No one can be trusted.

No One
There is no home in my home town. I try not to let it get me down. There is no train on a homeward track. There’s nothing there to call me back. No love ever bid me stay in town. No block back there is hallowed ground. Nobody really asked me to go away But nobody has missed since that day. Home was just an address And not something in my heart. Not something I longed for When we were many miles apart. There are few good memories or ghosts Just a long history of mysteries at most. It wasn’t that people threw rocks at me But there were no going away parties. It was more like, “You’re leaving? Goodbye.” A zip code full of staunchly dry eyes. I don’t know what I expected it to be But, that was not my choice for reality. Home was never a place I rushed back to at night And even as a young kid I was sure that wasn’t right. I run through an inventory of events And I did not betray any friends. I didn’t steal or tell big lies But didn't collect pals after may tries. Something must have happened to me That made me standoffish naturally For people to not recall I was there. So I left and then nobody much cared. Home was just an address And not something in my heart. Not something I longed for When we were many miles apart.

You're Crazy
When I was at school, I sat inbetween two best friends. They would pass notes over me talk over me. Like I didn't exist. Like they didn't care. When I was at school, I sat between two best friends, I wouldn't try and talk to them smile at them. I wouldn't dare. When I was at school, I sat between two best friends so when the teacher asked 'Who's partner?' They'd say "Us Miss!" I'd say 'Nobody Miss' But she wouldn't hear. So on a dreary Thursday -periods three and four- I would sit by myself in Music class all alone by the piano. When I was at school, I sat between two best friends. isn't it sad how I seemed to look forward to their conversations? Don't look at me like that. I didn't have any other ones to look forward to. When I was at school, I sat between two best friends. I wouldn't blame them for not liking me. no one really did

Between Two Best Friends
Am lonely only rarely alone but surely lonely down to my last friends lately making them is hard harder to keep them still everlasting sighs at exasperation from idiocy mine own idiocy Am very lonely in mine own lonely way my beautiful girl is my closest friend but even she can not fill this hole inside of me when dreaming I grip her shoulders tight and cry into her ***** she is so dearly loved Am so very, very lonely missing a friend who lives overseas he means so much to me across the pond his light can't be seen he is the lighthouse for this way off-course ship and he shines bright but the fog is too thick mate, it's real thick tonight Am the loneliest I've been my dad sits in the next room he is so dearly loved makes me feel loved like there are no parallels unique and cherished yet this feeling is indifference no concern for myself the words to make him comfort me don't pass my lips my trembling quivering lips Am desiring compassion resentful of pity am wanting of sympathy guilty of concern am capable of empathy sensitive to misfortune am lonely so very lonely

Am Lonely
Alone in a crowded room, at some point I have to realize, that some people can only stay in your heart, but not in your life, it feels like everyone else's life is moving on, but its as if am stuck in the hole i can't climb out of, as the world judges me by the decisions I have made, not remembering the options I had to chose from, and I hate getting flashbacks, from the past I don't want to remember, but the past comes back as they tap my shoulders, and force me to look back, I never ment to depend on anyone this much, but I need you more then the earth needs the sun, I just want to feel that i'm important to someone. I don't really know where I stand in others lives. one minute i'm their everything but then i'm nothing special, I think this is why i get so upset, i would never do these things that people do, to hurt me, to hurt them, and the thoughts get me lost inside, I will be that person everyone replaces after a while, I didn't change for you or for me, I guess you just never really knew me, because you never cared enough to find out, or cared enough to know what i'm going through, everything happens for a reason, but can I know the reason? i'm just another nothing, nothing special, nothing worth their time, nothing worth a soul in the world.

i'm just another nothing,
I feel a thousand eyes staring, Yet no one takes notice. People say they will help, Yet I am left alone. They call everyone perfect, Yet I am not treated so. The world promises they will remember, Yet I am forgotten. You can’t forge a letter, You can’t copy a story, Shouldn't that make them worth something? No one is the same, Everyone is amazing and different, Shouldn’t that make me worth something? For I have been forgotten, To everyone else, nothing but A mere feather in the wind.

Forgotten
The ones who should be forgotten are those who let you shift away from their memories like tectonic  plates in the earth are those whom never placed you in their hearts, not even a single place even though the chambers are boundless and love is known to drop fast. Face it, you weren't rooted in their cores and when you floated into space, their gravitational pull wasn't strong enough... because they didn't even try to pull you back. It didn't matter how funny you were. How original your thoughts could have been. They didn't know you were so out of your element because they didn't know your element.   They lost sight of your ghost thinking it was all of you. You're lost forever now and like a body lost at sea, they will never cross the bay. They wouldn't even think about making a time machine your existence was bound to be forgotten anyway The only thing natural about your friendship was the disaster You were the scarce soil that was only good that one time, the empty battlefield where blood shed was covered by the wrong victories. -Sindi

It's called self-esteem for a reason But how do you change Your reflection and the way the world sees it When people's perceptions are all the same To focus on your worth It's a hard thing to do Self-image is always backwards Because my right is reflected And is always wrong to you Mirror's force you to begin Where normally you would end This is when you realize The importance of the hyphen Separated and apart Each word becomes their own The finish was the start And you are still alone.
