"I feel hollow, completely hollow."
This is what my mother said when my father left. This is how I feel now.
Ever been feeling left out, even though your friends are including you? Feel like they are closer than you'll ever be? It hurts. You trod on the grass they've already stepped on. behind them, laughing and joking like nothing ever touched you.
It's all meaningless.
They do one thing, and you tend to take it personally. Like when there are two spots left in the clearing, and someone saved the spots for other people. Leaving you to sit at the edge of the clearing. I have one word for this.
Ouch. Cause it stings. It hurts. You sit alone the entire time.
The only person who talks to you is the person who took the spot that you knew could've been yours. You sat there first. But one of your friends says, "Sorry, I saved this one for Kayla." You try to sit in the other one, and all you hear is, "I saved that one for Haley."
No one else sits near you. No one notices and comes over to sit with you. They all just walk right past you like you're not there.
But these things add up. Nobody else notices, but you do. No one ever notices the way you feel. They are your closest friends, but they are much tighter together, than with you with them.
It leaves me with a hollow feeling. I always feel like confronting them. Telling them how I feel. Except they are all you have. If you do it, you could lose them forever.
The hollow feeling chills you to the bones. It leaves you shivering, as the people you call friends, walk away.
This is literally how I feel sometimes with my friends. Everyone in my main friend group except one person.
xxfantasy , thank you for being that one person. It helps a lot to know that someone is always there. 😔 This piece of writing is dedicated to you.
You always know when I am feeling down. You ask what is wrong, when you notice tears welling behind my eyes. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for introducing me to this website. I will always be there for you, if you need a friend.
