    “Alone”
    BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
    From childhood’s hour I have not been
    As others were-I have not seen
    As others saw-I could not bring
    My passions from a common spring-
    From the same source I have not taken
    My sorrow-I could not awaken
    My heart to joy at the same tone-
    And all I lov’d-I lov’d alone-
    Then-in my childhood-in the dawn
    Of a most stormy life-was drawn
    From ev’ry depth of good and ill
    The mystery which binds me still-
    From the torrent, or the fountain-
    From the red cliff of the mountain-
    From the sun that ’round me roll’d
    In its autumn tint of gold-
    From the lightning in the sky
    As it pass’d me flying by-
    From the thunder, and the storm-
    And the cloud that took the form
    (When the rest of Heaven was blue)
    Of a demon in my view-

    “And all I loved, I loved alone.”
    His most representative words, his most powerful message.
    I’m so sorry, Edgar. Thank you for your immense legacy. You’ve not lived in vain.

      I fell in love with this poem 35 years ago.
      I was 13 years old and alone because of being alone I stood tall against the police only to receive a juvenile record.
      I have been in and out of a loan for all of my days and completely isolated so the last 18 months or so because of a calling set let me into a warehouse building full of Lights!
      The building was used during World War II to produce ammunitions technology bomb everything they Navy needed to end the slaughter of the Jewish people!!
      Bizarre as it sounds over the last year I discovered my love for everyone and everything.
      The calling says to rid myself of everything.
      Today I went for food and never felt more alone and filled with sadness.
      I'm a peaceful man of gigantic heart. Will power is enormous tonight humbled yet stand still with Valor.
      everyone was afraid of my long goatee someone said he looks like Charlie Manson.
      My invoice said that is completely opposite Who You Are. Shave and then they will see.
      as I sit here with no shirt no possessions and finally no goatee.
      I can clearly see.
      my calling is to show where we are headed if we let this fear grow.
      Tonight I have never felt so alone...
      The love I have for everyone and everything is more powerful tonight I've ever known.
      It's covers me with warm I have no fear because I know I am truly not alone...
      The creator of everything is around us now giving us power to embrac you know. if you can only open your mind to feel it's warm loving blow and no time at all you'll see you're not a withering tree then look around you in realize this is not how life is supposed to be!
      do not receive the message you're told.
      I pray the truth soon will unfold!!!!!!!!!!

      @yester day wow! I was surprised to see such a long comment, but i like it.☺
      About me... I need a lot of alone time for thinking. I don't think people in general like thinking that much than acting in the moment. I have a lot of friends( people I know but not that close) and i can fill the silence by sharing normal things with them but I don't like casual or shallow conversation that much. I only have one friend who is as weird as me ( except he is very talkative and make friends well enough), I can express him openly.
      I still feel lonely sometimes for not having someone to discuss about random philosophy topics or deep insights.
      About the women you mentioned I can relate, I was living in hostel and some of my mates were so blunt and one of them was exactly like her. I had a very tough time there even though they were nice but I am glad i met them otherwise i wouldn't be the same person i am today.
      Innocence is gone but left me with all these experience and knowledge. I still expect good for everyone from my mind if not from my heart. I am recovering. ☺
      I have written such a long comment. 😅I hope my words doesn't sound weird to you.
      Finally, feel free to share about you. ☺

      Hey stan, I’m so sorry you had to go through that pain for so long. We have scars that we develop from such a young age that never heal no matter what precautions we take..... I feel you on that I was once bound by chains of my childhood, I went from being the top 5 athlete in my class from 4-9th to becoming a shell of who I was to become, all because the very people I trusted broke me inside and I allowed it to suppress the joy I once had as a child. One another hand I had bad acne so that didn’t help my case, was always feeling uncomfortable and in doubt of my existence with others. On the outside I looked “fine” and had many friends I can’t lie, but I never felt like anyone really understood me or even took the time to understand me and it really bothered me and I developed a deep nerving anxiety that hindered me from even playing the game I loved. For so long I blamed myself and was longing for a father figure in my life that would pick me up my pieces and turn me into a bright lit puzzle. As I got better from my condition I had developed an addiction to marijuana and girls, which sounded good at the time but they were just bandaids that we’re trying to hold on to the misery inside of me. One day I realized that no matter what I did there was no satisfaction and I turned to the person I had ignored my entire life and it was God, but more specifically Jesus. He let me know that religion was something created by man to take advantage of others, and called me to have a deep relationship with Christ. I realized that no matter what I was feeling or what errors I have committed onto my life, they were forgiven by a guy who sacrificed his whole life just for me. I stand as a witness today that if you turn your life to Jesus, not religion, that he will not only forgive your sins but give you everlasting life. All men fall short of the glory of God, but the gift of God is everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6.23. I realized that he was the Father figure I was looking for my entire life!! And it is never too late to turn to his love, for love was created by Him, without Him love wouldn’t even exist. All you have to do is accept Him in your heart and be honest with Him. I command in Jesus’ name that any demon that is being tied to my friends in this video, for them to be exalted out their life and for an abundant wave of peace to overcome their mind and heart! For the Lord to touch their hearts and for them to encounter a loving moment with the very person that loved them so much he gave them his only begotten Son. If you have made it this far know I am free from the chains that were in my life thanks to Jesus!! Much love ❤️

    And I have been told I breathe like them
    And I see like them
    And I exist like them
    But the roads I walked are invisible to them
    And what I saw , they have never seen
    And what they felt , I never felt
    Alone I graced the world
    Alone it took me far
    Though I look like them in this world
    I never felt like them
    When I touched the ground, the mother earth never touched me back
    When I looked at the sky, the blue sky never smiled
    When I touched the trees, I felt no console
    When I closed my eyes and drew a fresh breath
    I felt nothing
    So I may move and talk like them
    But I walk differently.

      I dont think this is a poem that decries that situation though...at least not entirely. Yes its melancholy but I think its about cherishing those things you have even if you are doing it alone solely because you are there, alone, to do it.... free to do as you wish and wise enough to see and pursue those things that you do love, regardless of others approval, regardless if there is anybody to join you in it..."in all I have loved I loved alone", that which brings you love and contentment is special to only you in a unique way that only the special individual you can appreciate them.

    I have been alone all my life but did not realize it as I was surrounded by family and those I considered friends, yet I was alone without knowing it, without knowing what it was like to be connected, to be loved and to love. I learned out of necessity to keep my guard up, a way to survive emotionally and avoid deep psychological pain and sleepless nights. Now that I am older I don't question if it was worth attempting to protect myself from those pains, I now know the despair of being alone is of unequaled agony compared to the temporary emotional pain I would have experienced had I been brave enough to face my demons head on and beat them down and out of my psyche. I have never done that so it is no surprise I find myself alone all over again, decade after decade after decade, incapable of allowing anyone to connect with, to experience love nor to love. This is not a pity orgy I am simply realizing how I have coped with life. I see this revelation as a good thing, a good time to make the changes I never allowed myself. Time to love and to be loved.

      @yester day Thanks again for your thoughts, helps to see both different and similar ways people have learned to deal with navigating through life. I had a boss when I was in business, he insisted we anticipate rather than react, made sense in a business environment because you are able to avoid a problem which may otherwise have happened had you not thought ahead and anticipated to the best of your ability what could happen if no action was taken. Your point is different though, I think I get what you were getting at, instead of being fearful or thinking the worst you participate and accept whatever comes your way. Not easy to do after being beaten down so many times, participation becomes the last thing you want to open yourself up to so you end up staying in that safe place, a learned survival technique which does more harm than good in the long run. I am also not sure if that is what your "saying" meant to you.
      The session thing is in reference to meeting with a counselor in an attempt to understand how and why, or the cause which lead me to make the decisions I did and how to deal with them differently so life's opportunities don't continue to pass me by resulting in lack of growth and enjoyment both spiritually and intellectually.
      Yeah, the lobotomy thing, I suppose I'll trash that idea, at least for now.
      Thanks for sharing some of your life's experiences with me, there is a lot to learn from one another.

    • @Anti-leftist7777
      @Anti-leftist7777 5 лет назад

      ​@@JenW-nm4rn Thanks for sharing Jeanette. Yes, definitely both survival and trauma responses are a part of this issue. No one is immune from the cause and effect consequences of living in this world, whether they were a result of our decisions/actions or things which we were not in control of. By the time we reach a certain age we have experienced many bad consequences, especially if we were never equipped with the skills to make the proper decisions, once again living through the cause and effect results of our decisions and actions.
      One of the many reasons I am in counseling, never too late to learn.
      Best with your "new beginnings" in 2020.

    Then, in my 50s I was diagnosed with Asperger's, and suddenly I understood everything about my life...and I understand the words of this poem, they talk to me about how I have been different from childhood's hour, yet they tell me that the difference is not negative.

    From childhood’s hour I have not been
    As others were-I have not seen
    As others saw-I could not bring
    My passions from a common spring-
    From the same source I have not taken
    My sorrow-I could not awaken
    My heart to joy at the same tone-
    And all I lov’d-I lov’d alone-
    Then-in my childhood-in the dawn
    Of a most stormy life-was drawn
    From ev’ry depth of good and ill
    The mystery which binds me still-
    From the torrent, or the fountain-
    From the red cliff of the mountain-
    From the sun that ’round me roll’d
    In its autumn tint of gold-
    From the lightning in the sky
    As it pass’d me flying by-
    From the thunder, and the storm-
    And the cloud that took the form
    (When the rest of Heaven was blue)
    Of a demon in my view-

    Okay, just my perspective. I know a lot of people are like “oh the pain!” But hear me out…
    If, by chance you are blessed enough 😉 to lose every single person you loved at a young age - you develop this inner solitude and it changes you.
    You rely on no one.
    You relearn how to live.
    It’s not a strong pain or sadness - it’s all the emotions in one.
    An understanding.
    Time slows down and you notice & feel it all.
    In this life lesson you begin to see truths others don’t.
    You observe life more.
    Think more.
    Watch nature.
    You feel more deeply and see clearly.
    Less tolerable of the mundane.
    Less trusting of blue skies.
    It’s lonely being the only one with those perspectives but a gift nonetheless. A lonely beautiful gift.

    I have been molested when I was young it affected me all my life. My relationship with my mom went downhill she didn’t understand why I’m acting up. I have anger problems and depression. I felt lonely in my childhood to teenage years. I have this secret until my deathbed. Do you understand that there are things that are better left unsaid. Because u know there will be more chaos if it was revealed. I am still fighting and healing but I have problematic behaviors and trust issues. I have a lot of insecurity because of what happened to me. But, I don’t to live this way.

      Victim or victor. I know what speaking that takes . The world never understood me either.5-10-15 minutes of something terrible that happened to me took away from years of my life. I love you.

      Healing comes from the chaos being revealed. At least, it did for me. Be well❤️

      These lonely childhood pains aren't better left unsaid. It needed to be heard & released from you. I'm glad you felt safe within this comment section to share it here. Loving people heard a piece of your secret as you revealed it and further chaos wasn't allowed to enter this space. I hope you can feel those who are acknowledging your pain. Hopefully you'll be able to hear the many voices that are joining you to push that chaos further back from your view. I hope you can accept the support you've been needing to allow your voice be heard further. I hope you'll begin your healing. This is a horrible weight to carry for as long as you thought you needed to deceive yourself in carrying. You're already allowing pieces of it to go. You've already started combating that lie. You're still alive. You're not on your deathbed. I hope you'll let the rest go too.

    What you do here is in itself a work of art. The poem, the video, the music; alone they may achieve what they intended, but together, they complement each other in a beautiful way. Keep up the good work, and thank you so much for it.

    You're chanel means a tremendous amount to me. I can't enumerate the times, your pieces on bukowski specifically moved me to tears, or provided catharsis. You're work is excellent and I'm really grateful that you created all of this. Thank you.
