Poetry group 12 months ago Feelings with no name
Ashley DowdWhat’s the name of that feeling.
When your heart echoes duplicating a mere image of a windowless room of flat paint
What’s the name of that feeling.
When your happily ever after converts into lonely nights and forfeited fights
Finding yourself pillow talking with your shadow on how this can’t be life.
What’s the name of that feeling.
When your ego has drowned, and the lifeguard is off duty.
Gasping for air while waiting for the waves to subdue you.
What’s the name of the that feeling.
When the stars no longer twinkle, and the birds no longer fly, and the clouds look weary providing an abstract flavor to the sky.
That feeling is JUST a feeling. And feelings are fleeting. So keep fighting for your happiness and know your worth. And your feelings will begin to feel just how you want them too. Stay strong. Find your happiness. <3 Lauren

Hopelessness. Such an overwhelming feeling of being so empty. Yet filled with the loud sound of silence. You will find your happiness again. You will find that spark that’ll turn into a blazing fire. Be patient and kind to yourself. Don’t give up.

To me the name of that feeling is “I don’t know”, what’s the name of that feeling, and you’re entitled to those feelings. It will be a name that you personally will have to come up with. It can be loneliness, it can be sadness, it can be depressions, it can be a feeling of frustration, because you don’t really know, but it’s definitely a feeling. A feeling that you will one day get an answer to, if you keep searching, as well as the meaning, and the Why!

To me that feeling is helplessness. And just like you said “Gasping for air while waiting for the waves to subdue you” to me is like when you’re in a powerless situation and all you can you is wait for it all to come crashing down just like the wave in your line. It’s like if Nasa came out and told the world that the moon is going to collide with the earth. And each day it gets closer and closer to the point where you can see it in the day time but what do you do? Absolutely nothing because the “Wave” is too large and foreboding for you to handle, leaving you helpless.
