i've been so caught up in my downward life lately, losing things and beings, grieving previous years of my life i've lost, things only getting worse and worse and worse as time goes on and any choice i have to make i lose something regardless, or something else has to go wrong.
today i was out, on my way back i saw a horde of people dancing happily with one another to music that others were playing, eating good food, spending time with family, friends, some even pets, even as i left that area and continued walking many families continued to pass me, couples holding hands and kids following behind.
i've never had that, a full family outing, i've never danced outside of maybe my 9th grade gym class let alone be so happy about it and with people i adore around me, i never got to walk back home holding hands with someone i love, i've only ever lost things; people.
i feel so hollow, exhausted. why couldn't that have been me in the crowd? singing my heart out for people to listen or even just dancing beside them? chatting with relatives who care for me or feeling physical affection?
what have i done so horribly to award me with a life that's never given me something like that? or anything i could at least remember? why was i born into a life that never, ever gets better?
i feel so empty. i couldn't cry if i wanted. empty and pathetic and hopelessly tired and starved of touch all the time.
i desperately could use a cigarette right now. that place was also reeking of tobacco in the air.
