#notalone
Some days the pressure feels so loud
it drowns out everything else—
school deadlines stacking up,
parents nagging like alarms you can’t shut off,
friends fading into people you used to know.
It’s exhausting pretending you’re fine
when your head is anything but.
When every small mistake feels huge,
and every quiet moment feels too loud.
You sit there thinking,
*Why does this feel so **** heavy?*
Why does getting through the day
feel like climbing a hill no one else sees?
And maybe you’ve had thoughts
you don’t know how to say out loud,
feelings you hide because
you don’t want to worry anyone
or be seen as “too much.”
But here’s the truth—
you’re not crazy for feeling this way.
You’re not weak.
And you are definitely not alone.
A lot of us are walking these same halls
carrying invisible weight,
smiling in class while fighting battles
no one else can see.
You’re still here.
Still breathing.
Still trying, even when it feels pointless as hell.
And that matters more than you think.
You don’t have to go through this quietly.
You don’t have to carry it by yourself.
There are people who want to listen,
who want to help,
who care more than you realize.
This feeling won’t last forever—
even if right now it feels endless.
Hold on.
Reach out.
And remember: you are not alone in this.

Today, I want to speak to you,
my brother.
You who are feeling down,
who life is hitting hard.
You who feel alone,
or have a broken heart.
Maybe you've been left for someone else,
or what you're searching for hasn’t been found.
She didn’t deserve you,
and what you're looking for is just around the corner.
You’re not alone,
there are many of us,
with the same thought.
The thought of ending this,
and ending the suffering.
But through all the bad,
there’s always a brother.
A brother with a big ear,
to listen,
to what is resonating
inside of you.
I want you to know that you are strong,
and that I love you.
This is just a fall in life,
and soon you’ll tell it,
as something overcome.
I want you to know that we are many in your situation,
and we haven’t given up.
This battle is ours,
and we are winning it.
Don’t drop your hands,
you are worth a lot,
this is just a delay.
We will all get through this together,
and we will come out strong.
The burdens of today,
are the wings of freedom,
for tomorrow.
If you’re feeling bad,
just talk to me.

Thrilled, wrapt, beguiled,
bruised, broken, lost,
tempest toss’d
or star-sky smitten,
it’s your heart we love alone
even if it feels so,
you never are x

You've filled your pretty head
With a million excuses and lies.
Stop wasting your breath;
I've seen and heard it all a million times.
Sorry, little boy,
but you're not as cute as you think.
You may think you're water in a desert,
But I'm not desperate enough to drink.
Because I may be lonely, but I'm not alone.

Cold white numerals
from the Teutonic-honest dash:
9.5°C
Not so cold, I guess
but not the weather to press the button
for the windows to drop
I do while accelerating
too fast for the road,
the fresh air has volume
that angry-loves my tired,
house-cat skin
The wub-wub-wub pulse in my ears
has a cause I control
for once
as the next curve beckons

Are you afraid? You're not alone.
Are you hungry? Cold?
You're not alone.
Are you barely making it
between paydays?
I'm sure you can guess
where I'm going with this.
You may not want to
connect with anyone.
But just know:
You may have been alone before.
But things have changed;
Your boat's not empty anymore.

Why?
Why then?
Why then did you choose?
Why then did you choose to kiss me?

She could blow away,
Burnt to blurry ashen pieces
Of limbs cindered to smoke,
Bespoke pain for a
Place of her own making.
She could sink behind the skyline,
Bleeding death to
A time when she was solid,
And she and the sky
Were definitively separate.
That time when she could cry
And clouds could rain.
But now their tears fall the same
And she is blown away.

Our stories shared
Healings unfold
Connections being made
Our truths being told
We are not alone
There's someone out there
Like you
Like-minded
Someone who cares
Someone who feels you
and shares what you're going through
Someone who hears you
when all you need is to be listened to
Someone that lifts you
when you're down so deep that no-one sees you
Someone to be that friend to you
when there is no-one around to be there for you
We can find that someone
that someone like you
to connect with,
to grow with
and to never feel alone with.
--Someone like you

I believe you,
Because I believe there is goodness
In talking about the badness.
Because turning a blind eye is the same as selling your soul.
I believe you,
Because I’ve faced the monsters too.
And I’ve found the monsters under the bed
Are nothing compared the monsters outside.
I believe you,
You’re not alone.
Your monsters are real
They can bleed
They can be defeated.

Remember every now and then
to redress the balance and acknowledge
that there are hedgehogs,
cooked breakfasts,
stomach aches from laughing
and the dumb comfort of an afternoon snooze

if we sat inside a square
and someone were to point out the corners
counted them
assigned them names
and listed them alongside other examples
as if they were trying to tell us that it was a square
could we believe them?
so we are now dreaming
but sleepily awake in our own confusion
drifting once again between reality and fantasy
it's almost weightless and we feel so fast
and warm
wrangling emotions to suggest they are important
when we can't tell each other that they aren't distorted
there exists a lens in the heart of the mind's eye
that seeks to bend the light that beams from the source
pure brightness that feels the way a sunburn does
that if left unchecked might just leave a scar
can we be the sunscreen to each others hearts
so that we might protect one another from stars
that bleed the light that could sear sensitive skin
so we can hope to make our broken selves somewhat whole again

The road to healing has been long and hard,
It's made it difficult to put down my guard.
The road to healing is full of ups and downs,
Making me questions all of the sounds.
The road to healing is still not over yet,
And I know it's not something I'll ever forget.
Yes the road has been hard, But I've had others to help me,
My friends and family helped me become free.
Even though it's not quite over,
I'm no longer scared I won't find closure.

Why do I feel like I’m drowning?
If I didn’t get into the pool yet.
There’s only a few moves I do regret.
Needing a lifesaver just to feel safer.
I’ll speak on any topic if you pick the flavor.
Luckily, writing is my form of therapy on paper.
Basically, it’s my only savior when times are major.
Why keep these thoughts in my head?
I rather speak on them now, rather than later.
You can’t express yourself let this be a favor.
Maybe me writing this you can relate to.
We both trying to find an exit to escape thru.
Trying to fight it these feeling is uninvited.
Maybe no one will notice if I try to hide it.
But which will suffer more them or I.
A question I always ask myself.
It’s usually between him or I.
If I free myself from this pain, Will I Rise?
Is the suffering too deep in vain, Will I Die?
But still I try to keep Hope and Will alive.
The moment will be gone and the sun will arrive.
So until this day is over I’ll say “I Will Survive!”
Just Keeping Hope Alive from Drowning...

You finally found someone who understands you more than I,
so I guess I will be saying my final goodbye.
When the night will dawn,
the departed will be looked on.
With them will be I,
whispering in your ears a spooky lullaby.
I wish the nights never end,
cause our bond needs to be amend.
I will sit right next to you,
all the nights through.
Bite off more than one can chew.
Your nights I will haunt.
Black and blue to flaunt.
We will always be together,
my hand holding tight to your death tether.

sitting in the dark but not feeling alone.
just trying to hide from the crazy the world has shown.

It’s almost 5 am
And I’m trying to remember
That I’m not the only lonely person
Because right now everyone is alone
So I’m laying on my couch
Typing out this poem
Trying to remind you that you’re not truly alone
Letting you know I’m always here

It's all been said.
It's all been done.
Think you're broke and lonely?
You're not the only one.
Living in a world so isolated
So cold.
They say the only ones
who survive do what they're told.
But that's just what they want you to think.
They don't want you to find the power you have inside.
So get your thoughts together, wake up and let's ride.
We're going to say
what we need to say
and whether we succeed or die, at least we can say we tried

I'm with you in spirit
Just like I was before.
I'm right by your side
Even though you can't see me anymore.
I'm with you in spirit
So you have nothing to fear.
You're not in this alone.
I'll always be here.

When we're kids,
we see dinosaurs and dragons that make our imagination soar.
When we're teens,
we look at our peers differently than before.
And, as an adult, I find it harder to embrace any changes at all anymore.
I don't like the world I see. So tell me, what should I do?
First, know you're not alone.
Then take my hand, and together, we'll make it through.

Just because you don't have someone
By your side doesn't mean
you're alone.
Close your eyes.
Turn around.
When you open your eyes,
Tears might fall when you see
All the people who have watched you grow.

Have you ever been confused about how you feel
Because you're not sure what's real?
Have you ever been filled with dread
because you can't get out of your head?
I have too.
Have you ever been picked on in school
and done something desperate just to make them think you're cool?
Have you ever neglected yourself by pushing your feelings aside
Because you were afraid of what would happen if people found out how much you were hurting inside?
I have too.
What I'm trying to say is if you think you're alone, you're not.
Take it from me. If you can find the courage to ask to talk to someone, it can help alot

when you don't know what's happening or what to think
just that you need to get out
i'll walk with you.
when everyone else seems to leave or stop caring
and you don't know who to turn to
i'll stay with you.
when the world is falling to pieces around you
and you feel frozen, immobilized, trapped on your bed
i'll lay with you.
when the sun comes out once more
and the puzzle pieces start to fit together again
i'll run with you.
when your shouts turn to shrieks of joy
and smiles can't stop tugging at your lips
i'll laugh with you.
and i promise, no matter what may happen
through good and bad, big and small
i'll love you.

So over
All this bad luck
Stuck on repeat
Misfortune is a clumsy duck
Falling, tripping over it's own two feet
Told I'm strong
Told it'll all be okay
But if I were strong
Why must this pain be so long?
Remaining, oh to stay,
Promises, promises,
Too many vows
But each one I shall keep
To stay stronger than stone
On a stage, deep bows,
Miles to go before I sleep
Shivering to the bone
But I am not alone
Awaiting are those who care
Those who dare
To share
Their time with me
Set me free
Running wild
Earth crunching beneath my feet
Nearby, the buzzing of a bee
My, feeling free like a child
Let me run wild
Heart tender and mild
Easily broken
Yet on display
Given a token
A part in the song, you shall play
Sing me a song
Play the melody
Now, it won't be long
"Just one more.", I plea
Another note
Of the song you wrote
Written across the pages
Destined to be on stages
Hold me
When I ask you to leave
For I am testing you
Please, hold me,
When I ask you let me be
For times, I grieve,
But please, do not leave
Seated on my own
Reaching out for you
Take my hand
Make your presence known
I need you
To hold me in the dark
To guide me, be my light
Hold me, darling please,
When the light fades,
Tell me you'll be there with me
Help me be the person I'm supposed to be
There's sometimes when I don't wanna wake up
Don't let me go, don't let me go,
I need backup
To let my colors show, let my colors show
I don't know what will become of me
Help me through the dark
Only you hold the key
Heal every mark
When the light fades
And it's just you and me
Breath in sync
Heartbeat for heartbeat
When the hope begins to fail, sinking deeper,
Somehow I feel your heat
Your light burning in the dark
Saving me, oh you save me,
My hero, my angel
My archangel
