Sans.

Vide de sens, vide de projet, vide d’ambition, vide d’envie, vide d’énergie,

A quoi bon tenter d’expliquer, les mots ne sortent pas comme il faut, les mots n’ont pas le sens recherché, la voix ne suit pas, et le message ne se fait pas comprendre. Alors à quoi bon tenter, à quoi bon parler? La léthargie qui envahit son corps est plus forte que la volonté de se faire comprendre. Cette volonté n’a pas disparu, le temps l’a usée, et le vide l’a surpassée.

La défaite est acceptée, elle s’est imposée. A quoi bon lutter puisque c’est perdu d’avance. Comment garder espoir de se faire comprendre quand on a passé sa vie à être incomprise? Elle a passé toute sa vie à chercher cette personne spéciale qui la comprendrait, sans jamais la trouver. Alors, elle s’est dit qu’il fallait plutôt l’attendre, après tout la patience est une vertu dit-on. Elle a attendu encore et encore, mais rien. Alors elle a fini par se rendre à l’évidence: cette personne n’existe pas, n’a jamais existé ou est morte avant de la rencontrer. Elle s’est rendue à l’évidence de sa solitude. Elle s’est enfermée dans cette prison, ou s’est-elle laissée emprisonner?

Elle s’est faite une raison et s’est adaptée. Mais parfois, ce besoin viscéral d’être comprise resurgit et reprend le dessus. Alors, malgré elle, elle se remet en route à la recherche de l’autre. Et parfois, il lui semble l’avoir trouvé. Puis, comme toujours, elle réalise l’illusion. Et se redécouvre seule au monde. Et se retrouve en prison. Puis elle réapprend à apprécier sa prison. Elle se demande toujours si cette prison est un choix ou si elle est captive, sans jamais trouver une réponse. Mais, à quoi bon trouver la réponse de toute façon puisqu’elle y est? Elle ne cesse d’y retourner car c’est le seul endroit où elle accepte sa réalité: être seule.

Seule dans sa prison sans porte, sans clé, sans plafond, sans sol, sans lumière, sans personne, sans temps, sans envie, sans parole, sans émotion, pleine de vide.

Silent army

The-Silent-Army-02.jpg

Sometimes we march, but most of the time we just stand in silence,

We try to march, but we stumble endlessly, but we keep on trying.

We keep in mind the words of people around us:  « I didn’t raise no quitter, no punkass, no weak! You don’t quit, you don’t retreat, you keep on moving ».

Those words feel like an insult, because we are doing our best not to quit but it is so over our strengh, so we oftenly fail.

So we feel less deserving, less than second class citizens, less than nothing, punkass weak dirty pieces.

But somehow we still have the strenght to stay on our feet, even when we fall, we still stand on our knees.

We’ve learned to bend in order to avoid being broken.

So no matter what life throws to us, somehow we don’t die, even though we pray all days, every days for death to come to us.

So we live like zombies, dead inside but still moving to keep up appearances.

But why are we still here? Why is there so many of us, but yet no one seems to notice us?

No matter how much we put up with, our screams seem to never get out, our yellings seem to vanish into the wind. It seems like nobody can ever hear us, nor even see us.

We’ve tried calling for help, but nobody ever answered,

We’ve tried grabbing people’s hands but somehow they end up letting go  without even noticing us.

What is wrong with us? Why is nobody listening to us? Why aren’t they helping?

If we’re meant to die, then why don’t we just do so?

What is the point of being so many if we don’t even have one voice?

Nobody wants to hear about us, nobody wants to aknowledge us, nor our reality, we make them uncomfortable, we are a problem. We lost our right of being human beings because we suffer from that thing that nobody wants to talk about because they’re too afraid.

So, in silence, we stand, feeling lonely in this big silent crowd, knowing we all have the same burden that nobody wants to hear about.

We don’t want to recruit people, we wanted out, we want out, but we just don’t know how to get away.

We want to find the infamous light at the end of the tunnel, and get out,

But somehow the silent army keeps drawing us in.

Some would say we are courageous to keep on marching, but truly, we just don’t know what else to do.

SORROW

Many people have been writing  about it, they have tried, and still are trying to understand it, but you and me experience it everyday.

And as for you, the moments you feel it are those when you are the most surrounded….

The more you are surrounded by people, the deeper you experience  your loneliness.

Yes, you hang out with them, but they are all in mini-groups, by 2, or 3…..They have FRIENDS, not friends just like people with whom you laugh, no.

Friends, meaning  they all have special relationships, and despite the fact that they « accept » you, you know deep down inside that you are still alone.

People would not understand you, maybe they can’t or maybe they just don’t want to make the effort of being understanding….

So, alone, you look at them, you try to give a good impression of yourself, you try to look like what they want you to be, actually what you think they want you to be.

You smile, you answer to questions, you try to reassure them about your silence, you say you are okay, but you know you are lying…..

WHY?? One would wonder…

Just because you KNOW they won’t understand, nor sympathize.

Some would claim they do, but for sure, you know they would not accept you.

You have a complex personality: that’s the truth about you.

And people detest complexity: that’s the truth about THEM

They may find you too much complicated for them, or too much annoying, or boring

Or just TOO MUCH……

They can’t handle you.

Where everybody finds happiness, you find something else, more complex.

Where everybody says « yes », you say « no » or « perhaps ».

Some, or the majority may think you are just cranky, offbeat, eccentric, or even pretentious. But only you know that you can do nothing about it, you can’t help it, you can not change it, because it’s all you, it is who you truly are.

No matter what you do, sorrow  IS in you. Sorrow is you. And, as masochistic as it sounds,  the truth is, it actually  looks as if you even enjoy it, even just a little bit. The suffering, the pain, the degradation, the constant complains: you can’t help yourself. You need  to feel that pain, because this is the only way you can feel anything, this is your only way of feeling, the only way you know…

It haunts you, and you can do nothing about it.

Nothing.

Nothing at all…..

So, exhausted, and worn out, you just let the pain get its way in, penetrate you….as it wants.

So you hide yourself behind this face you show everyone. Poker face on, on you go to the world.

Sometimes, you claim you love yourself,

Other times you claim you hate love.

You claim you don’t like people,

You shout from the rooftops to everybody who wants to listen that you don’t give a damn about anything. When in fact, it is a shout of pain.

But stupid they are, they believe what you say…..

And you feel like no one really gets you, most of them do not even try.

But if you tell that to them, they will think you are being too much judgemental, or bloody annoying.

But in the end, the only thing you are really asking for is just a little understanding. Is it too much to ask? Especially when you on the other hand offer it to them unconditionally?

So why can’t they just return the favor?
