Glimmer: Alone in second person

In light of personal events, recent events and future events; I have had an epiphany that I felt needed a glimmer. Again, a "glimmer" is a type of inspiration that I gleaned from the day or during the week. This glimmer has been nagging at my soul, and I feel that it is important that I express it. Furthermore, this glimmer has dark undertones; and it has truth inflected upon feeling. This glimmer came from somebody in the Veteran Administration who stated to me, "You're the professional over your own universe". I have been reflecting upon those words these last couple of months; but I think I have an idea what he meant.

This is "Alone In Second Person". Hence, these are my feelings:

You are alone.

You will never feel. You will never convey what people can never understand. People can't feel what you feel. People can't see what you see. People can't comprehend how you think.

400,000 words in the English language can't convey what you feel. You can't share those words. You can't understand what is experienced. Hence, you will understand that you're alone. There is darkness in your soul. Emptiness that can't be filled. Sorrowfulness that can't be understood. Feelings that you can't share.

You speak. You whisper. You hear. You try to see. You can never feel. You can't feel that agony. You can't understand that your language is finite. Hence, your understanding is finite.

Your understanding, An interesting concept.

You gain it. You learn it. You can never share it because you experience it. Hence, you journey alone.

In the darkness where it lies is a dichotomy that can't be defeated. You are alone.

Your cause. Your resolution. Your world. Your universe. You're the only one that sees it. No one else.

You can express it, but silence is all that can be heard.

Senses are diminished in your universe as you stand alone.

You're the only one that can make sense of it.

You are alone.
