Alone

So many people around me
So few to notice and see
Who is the real me.
Walking among people and friends
While with a censored heart
Thoughts and feelings
Are fighting inside.
Holding the pain and tears
I got used to seem fine.
I am a stranger to the most
That may know me somehow
Feeling alone in the crowds
Not seen or understood by,
Lonely among people nearby.
And then there are few souls
From like another universe, yet close
Who see me as I am, water clear
Who reads me even from a whisper
Into my mind, my heart and wishes.
Who holds my hand sending a smile
Like a sunshine that warms me while
I smile too, blessed that there still exists
Souls that for a time
Can make me feel alive and fine
When I can have the freedom
To say: now I am not alone.

I know the feeling.. of feeling alone in a crowded room. Like no one understands you.
Then, down the road you have hope and see the good and the life in all things around you and realize you're not alone. I love this and was my p.o.v what you were trying to say?

[Gee]

I think poetry and kindred souls ease the loneliness for many. The cafe is a good place to post and chat.
Another well penned piece

[Ioana Mihai]

Yes, poetry is a way to express emotions and share a piece of oneself into the world, so others may also see a piece of the writer and sometimes of themselves in the poems they read. Thank you for your kind words

I think the w c is a haven for introverts loners and the unusually highly talented
I’d rather be alone than have false friends
I’ve been a loner it’s hard at times other times I love it
Great poem enjoyed it

[Ioana Mihai]

Thank you. Yes, I think the same, yet I prefer having few true friends. Superficiality is something that I can’t stay near by. Also being different is not easy at times, though I wouldn’t change it either. Thank you for your thoughts and appreciation of this poem :)

Very nice! I feel this way at times and oh how nice to have my peeps! 🙂

[Ioana Mihai]

Thank you for your review. Indeed it’s nice to meet people alike and see how one can share same feelings at times. Poetry has this particularity to express and englobe at the same time from and into souls

[Franky]

[Ioana Mihai]
