The Poet Of Loneliness

She was an old soul,

desperately trying to find the meaning of her life. 

She couldn’t decide which world she liked better. 

The one her body was in, 

or the one her mind liked to escape to once in a while.

Like a broken flower, she hides her thorns from the cold world. 

Hoping immensely that there is an end to everything that is draining her spiritually. 

She had a wandering pen and an endless imagination.

Writing gave her a sense of freedom and happiness. 

She was the poet of loneliness.

I feel this way sometimes; just thinking what is to come and what is the purpose. Thank you for sharing!

'The Poet Of Loneliness'
Hiullia King,
I understand the reference to, "She was an old soul." I think that people just get tired. Our lives require so much of us after all. It feels like a game sometimes...seeking clues, or answers for how to fix problems and help ourselves and others at times.
Blessings,
Kathy

I could see myself in this poem. Especially in these lines "She couldn’t decide which world she liked better.
The one her body was in,
or the one her mind liked to escape to once in a while."

I'm glad I'm not alone then :)

[Jamieya B-Johnson]

This writing made me leap on the inside. I like your style.

[Giulia King]

Thank you so much!

[Karen John]

Deep thoughts do make a pretty good poem. I loved it.

[Giulia King]

Thank you for your sweet words :)

[Chris]

So many "me"s in this world of I's... sigh...anyways

Seem you are defining the person you are(?) by the person you want to be...

[Giulia King]

Tbh, I don't know what I'm doing.

[The earth (Titan maphah..]

This word "SOUL" is this your favourite word? just asking

[Giulia King]

Soul is not just a word. I can write a book about it's importance

[The earth (Titan maphaha)]

Ya you are right I see it appearing more often on your poetry

[Wajiha Nayeem]

i love it...just love it!

[Giulia King]

Thank you so much :)

[Owen Aldin]

Such a great portrayal the dilema's a creative person can face. I feel a sense of not fitting in with world due to all the wicked and evilness, with the imaginative escape bringing limited, but highly reinforced comfort. This will speak loudly to so many!

[Giulia King]

Thank you for your lovely words here, Owen! :)

Couldn't decide which world she liked better? I love that concept.

I would invite you not to talk your writing down to us in your notes.

[Giulia King]

Why not? I can be open about the things I feel and write about.

[Shannon]

Of course you can. It's your work.

That's why it was merely an invitation, not the colour the reader's perception or discredit your work.
