In the Face of Aloneness

"Hear me!" I shouted
In a voicetrous tenor
Looking to them to find
What is already mine
Already available

I was abandoned
No doubt
Standing in the door of aloneness
Not separate
But left in unobstructed silence
Left with my mistakes
No sympathetic ear could they lend

Without condoning what was missed
I wished something different
A collective acknowledgment
Of the many times where the tables have been turned
Showing their lack of attention on every detail
"We too have strived, we too have failed."

This is another opportunity
Most uncomfortable and alive
But I can now visibly see the contrast
And live with my renewed discipline
And move forward in discernment
