Loneliness

The weekend comes

and you are thrilled to

be done with classes

for that week.

You race over

to your calendar

propped up on

your dresser.

But now you

wish you hadn't looked.

You discover that

just like every

weekend before that,

nothing is there.

Weekdays filled with studies,

weekends filled with seclusion.

Your social life is nonexistent.

Your love life is in agreeance.

Depression sets in

as abandonment contributes.

But unfortunately loneliness

consumes all inside you.

Night falls and you

are still in seclusion.

You turn out the lights

on a night of sadness.

You cry yourself

to sleep.

You wake up

once again and

it is next weekend.

I liked this poem..It actually describes our daily life..But actually I am not among those who hate their daily routines..It feels good when you have something to do..But after a certain point it may seem frustrating..You wrote it really well...
Keep on writing..

[Jordan Smith]

Thank you Riddhi! I appreciate it!

[Lina Lotus]

I hate routines, but unfortunately it seems part of life. Well expressed

[JLily98]

Very well written. Relatable which is a great aspect of writing to have! :)

I agree. Its the same old routine that frustrates the most. Great read ☺

many people get frustrated when they realise they dont have a social life. This is a story told in a poem. I like it

[Amber Lily]

A sad truth to college life, it is lonely. Even if you have friends or family who live close, all of that work just keeps pushing you down. You speak for all of us who can't wait for college to be over. A great write :)

[Hannah]

This is very relatable and true to life, sadly.

[Leo]

every one of us experiences this at some point..but with every cloud comes a sunshine..no calamity stays forever, that's mystery of this universe..well penned

Very beautiful and very true for many. Lovely poem. Made me feel sorrow for whomever is in that predicament. Good job :)

[Jordan Smith]

Thanks. What if I told you that person the poem is about is me? : ...(

Your welcome. And that's really sad. You should get into a group or at least find a person that has your kind of interests. Friends will get you through the good and bad. Go find you your someone. I'm sure they're somewhere close to you but you don't know it. I'm sure you won't be lonely for long. Especially with the amazing talent you have :)

[Jordan Smith]

Thanks & I hope your right

[Lauren_The_Awesome]

Your welcome. And I'm sure of it. It's kind of like being a new kid at a school. You have no friends until you start making some or they like what you like. You won't always be lonely. Just think positive.

[Jordan Smith]

Trying the best I can to stay positive. Thank you Lauren_The_Awesome

[Lauren_The_Awesome]

Your very welcome :)
