I Should've Known Better

I'm sure everyone feels lonely sometimes. I know I do,probably more often than I should. But there is usually that moment when amongst the empty feeling in your head is overcome by the fullness of you heart. Because the heart usually knows what the brain wants to deny,and that is you are never really alone. More often than not,you are probably on someone's mind.

In this life we gain friends,and lose them. Some we are glad that we once knew,others we wish we had never met,and then there are the ones you want to keep forever. Growing up never showed much for me personally on the friend front. It seemed like every year the "best friend" from the previous year had all but forgotten we had a bond at all,and I was sent packing my crayon box to find another friend. And at some point I just isolated myself and tried to be friends with everyone. When the "Cheer War" went down my 6th grade year I was the one that hung out with the guys just wondering why all of this was happening;because it was one of the dumbest things...even at that age I knew it.

And now it seems as if things are happening in the same way,just in a larger frame of time. I feel like every time I move,I lose the friends that I once had,and have to make new ones. The only thing now is I don't have a pot of people to kind of pick from because I am no longer in school,and don't have a job. And I have never been the best at meeting people. So I am now stuck in what seems to be one of the lonliest times of my life so far.

I spend my days at home. Doing my online classes,doing chores,and looking for jobs. All while the rest of the world seems to be interacting with one another. I just feel left out all of the time. I feel like those people I were once to close to don't even care if I exist anymore or not. And I'm close to giving up trying to get their attention. I even sometimes feel like my mom has left me behind.

When it gets down to it. I can't help but feel alone and isolated. I mean I get jealous that my sister,brother,boyfriend,and even my parents all have their friends,and it seems like I don't.
Even though I should know better.
At this point I don't.

This Magic Moment

She could see the lights of the freeway flashing by like the stars of and unknown galaxy. A few hours closer to where she was going. A few hours farther from where she had been. Lightyears separated her mind from either,which is where she seemed to stay. You never really knew what was in her brain,what she was thinking.
She would never tell you,and asking what she was thinking was a hit and miss game itself. Being dealt either a straight answer or something vague,almost as if she didn't even know what she was thinking. But she did. Yearning for so many things,dreaming as if it was going out of style,thinking of the living moment. What was happening at the very second.
She was thinking of that now empty highway,the stars in the sky,the song on the radio,the guy in the backseat,and how she wished this would never end.
As she combines the components in her mind she knows that in this moment,it never will.

Filled with broken promises

I feel forgotten because I had to leave
I feel that is a lousy punishment for you to give me
The time is closing in with so much to be said
The words of your broken promise already floating in my head
I need a friend not a pal
Never lived to satisfy me
I just can't but have that feeling deep inside
That you've already expired me
Not a carton of milk that you can just throw out
Just the way you've been treating me makes me want to shout
Punch
Scream
Yell
Makes me want to believe that promises are never kept well
