It's All The Same

We’re all just searching for something here, 

Searching for the same thing

    just

in different ways. 

Self inflicted loneliness is a dream 

only when

you’ve got something to adjust it with.

Otherwise, 

You’re just a lonely old sod.

So simple, yet so effective. I love how real this reads, it doesn't sound contrived or over thought. The last line made me laugh. The whole poem has a seriousness to it, but it doesn't take itself too seriously which makes it very accessible in my opinion. Very good!

Thank you, Hailey.

Enjoyed this poem, because sometimes as writers we want that alone time, but like your poem says if alone time is the only thing we have then it is just sad. I also liked the line formating of this writing.

Quite a beautiful poem, once again. I totally agree with you, we do the same thing and aspire for the same thing, but in different ways. Pretty good use of irony in there. Well-written. Keep writing.
