The Grassy Knoll

roll around in my head with me

Not that there's anything wrong with that. 

Solitude is where we find ourselves, 

or so the pensive like to say 

Being lonely offers you a distinct perspective

 

I'm not though

Lonely

Overwrought

disorganized

Slightly confused most of the time to be honest with you

Not really lonely though

Off put

by humanity as a whole 

would probably be more apt

 

Though I often find myself seeking connection

Life is much more comfortable without it 

Like missing your mom

when she never really acted like one 

in those universal moments where we all long for her 

the feeling doesn't prompt you to ring her up like some would never hesitate to do 

 

people tend to laugh a lot 

when I talk

or tell stories

but you would have to bind and drag me on stage to perform comedy

which is the same way I feel about dating now 

prospectives love to talk about effort 

"show me you care"

honey, I don't 

and it's going to take a lot to change that 

 

honestly the connection I long most for is community

knit bond together through sheer intimacy 

i find myself reaching out as much as possible to my people 

spread far and thin

because forging bonds out of desperation

is troped out for me 

 

There are humans out there 

I know 

Who could bond and relate 

But the exhaustion of socialization 

is something I'm reserving for game days and birthday parties at this point 

Reveling in briefness of expanding solitude

Sir Don​(dom male){Nt looking} - Being alone does help with centering oneself.
Most people have a need in being around other people especially if you have never really been alone.

Thank you

punkbratxxx - the longing of something you've never known is very like nostalgia. i feel like there are probably words in other languages that describe these feelings distinctly and individually.

intenseoldman​(dom male) - Glad I stumbled over you. I like your expression, poetress, and this: But the exhaustion of socialization

You're yearning for a deep meaningful connection... it starts from within I think, so you seem to be off to a better start than most.
Anyway, thanks for sharing a deeper shade of yourself.
Best wishes.

Larsapan​(dom female) - This resonates with me deeply. Solitude is my happy place currently but I remember other happy places that resided in 'my people'.

I'm reminded often that community is not just a survival tactic, it's a human necessity embedded in our genes.

I participate on the edges, overly cautious and anticipating backlash too often. You inspire me to forge ahead with making myself more available for connection; even if superficial, gotta start somewhere I guess.
