“no one compares，you stand alone”

seashells

sometimes i’m glad for my loneliness. i’m grateful for the quiet sunsets i’ve spent alone on the boulevard where no one, not even the desperate, approaches me, too lost in thought；i’m glad for the afternoons i’ve spent staring at the water as the tide rolls in, while i try to make some sense of the bone-deep sadness in me;

because i can’t seem to carve out that thorny ache embedded on my chest, and instead i’ve only ever carved out a deep hollow within me, a gnawing nothing shaped around a seedling of everything.

those seaside sunsets help me dive headfirst into that nothingness, until i’m swimming into an ocean of memories, trying to search for the hands that have planted that everything seed.

was it the doctrines of a church that worshipped suffering in the name of god? was it the hands of a father that dragged me into darkness in the name of love? or was it the cries of a mother that yearned for freedom in the face of madness?

was it the stories i read that told of worlds i couldn’t reach? was it the words i heard that told of feats only i could achieve? is it the steps they take that tell of farewells as they leave? or is it the lies they tell that only i could perceive?

i am just a shell who walks with everyone’s feelings within. but if they hadn’t given me feelings in the first place, then what sort of shell am i supposed to be? the conch that roars ocean waves as i put my ear to it? the egg that breaks as life emerges from inside? it couldn’t be either of them; they’re all too vivid with the pleasantries of life in ways i could only dream of ever being.

but if i were too impart my likeness to a shell, i’d say it’ll be the ones that lay scattered on the beach—merely trodded on but occasionally marvelled upon, that which speaks of life long passed and is now a mere fossil of happiness before. a shell that lets itself be pulled by the tide without resistance, too small to home anything else but the fickle grains of sand. it erodes with the water and time but remains the same all throughout, ever-unchanging. it occasionally glistens under the sunlight and catches the attention of those keen enough; but it has found its home in this ocean of sadness— the only home that has truly accepted it, despite the waters dragging it under until it suffocates and breaks.

that’s why i love sitting at the boulevard, watching the sunset fall upon the tides. in the water, i see myself, this shell. it reminds me that when my time has come, the waters of sadness will welcome me home.

and i am never truly alone.

what’s left behind

Not everyone gets to report or speak out. But if you do have space now, if you’ve healed even a little, your voice might be the reason someone else realizes they’re not alone.
