I like being alone till my poor wife found me. I roamed for 35 years alone. Today I have four kids and grand kids running through the house. I'm glad someone thought I was worthwhile. The poem is direct and honest. Hard to fight a world alone. Need someone to believe in your life and deeds. A excellent poem. You are a very good writer. You can express yourself and know how to create emotion and sadness with your poetry. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry.

A pained piece, and I thank you for it. As of the day of this review, I was driving home and the loneliness I'd been trying to outrun for years now hit me, and I considered completely letting go of the wheel. A young woman I genuinely cared about told me she could never be with me because I had a personality she described as "forever alone." A couple of hours later I wound up here at the Cafe, and I found this poem. It's strange that your words - which seemed to come from a place of such profound hopelessness - have given me some sort of hope. I think I take solace in knowing that there's someone out there who has felt the same sort of emotions I've been struggling with for so long. With your poem "Alone," I feel a bit less alone.
I can relate to that and know the feeling very well, its a powerful feeling and at the same time not good. It made me leave everyone and move out of state to where I have no real friends or family.
I can say being gone from everyone it makes you grow up a bit more and focus on what really has to be done, but at the same time... your alone. It's one of them "be careful what you ask for" things.
This made me think about my recent actions and everything thats been going on in my life. Very good and emotional write. keep writing :)
I could see this being part of a longer piece that catalogs the degeneration of a a tragic soul such as the speaker. It gets the point across in free verse and very emotionally, which I'm always a fan of.
I get this completely. And the worst lonely feeling, even lonlier than feeling alone with a mate, is feeling like a stranger in your own family. Even if we're alone though, we still have purpose. I may be alone, you too, but I'm not insignificant, nor are you Becky....hold on tightly to Faith, Hope and Love....especially Love.
Misunderstanding? I've often heard of situations like this, but can never really figure out what is wrong...
Is it envy, greed, just baseless hate. I, fortunately, have not known it.
Bid Thee Well.
