The true meaning of Loneliness

Some birds aren't meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more empty that they are gone...

The dark pathway leads to my destiny, where shadows dance in lights symphony. My loneliness claustrophobic, the silence too loud...

Across the room, I saw my own reflection. I looked away once and flinched. I was used to this feeling. I felt lonely.

I wasn't always alone, with bundle of friends whom I trust to enjoy my company. Never did I once spend a festival alone but when the days ends to welcome the silence night, there I was, alone still, alone always.

Friends always joke about me not being attached, question my ambition and my ability. I do ask those question myself always. Always did answer with a joke or a smile displaying "I dont mind". Masks are only good if you are a clown, or if it’s a Halloween party. Otherwise, masks help you slack and drift off from your identity. I hated the feel of a mask on my face. I wore a mask most of the time.

To me, loneliness is not about going to gatherings or family meetings where awk question being ask of being single. Loneliness is not spending a time alone on some lovely festist season. Loneliness is not about not being able to find someone to accompany you to catch a movie or have a bite. Loneliness is not being here typing some ridiculas notes at this silent moment, this silent night. Loneliness is infact not able to share this silent moment to someonelse. It's where you're emotional disturb, it's where you find that even your closest among friends do not understand you. It's where the moment I think of you and misses you the most... Boy I'm lonely.

“Loneliness is never more cruel than when it is felt in close propinquity with someone who has ceased to communicate”-Gerrmaine Greer quotes
