I Feel So Alone

At times I feel like I’m walking this road alone, and nobody else cares. I see other people walking this same road. They are blind, scarred too deeply by the cold. For a long time now, longer then I dare admit, I’ve been on it, throwing away pieces of my soul just to keep my sanity. To the point where there was almost nothing left. This hole inside of me nearly swallowed me whole. And I couldn’t fight it. I wouldn’t. My soul, my essence was dying away, and I couldn’t care less.

And then hope came to me. And all that was left of me, all these little scraps of soul I bet on this last dash of hope. A final spark of light in a world where the stars have gone out. But that’s the thing about sparks. They fade away. I fought. I fought dearly. But it was not to be.

An alien has no place among people. For one lonely moment, I caught a glimpse of a star-filled heaven above me. But they are not from my world. My world has long since drowned in the darkness.
