We all experience what it is you're describing here. I have felt it so often in my life. And I recall specifically feeling it at your age. I felt so alone and scared that no one understood what I was feeling. But take comfort in knowing that we all do, but folks don't run around screaming it from the rooftops bc we're so afraid of admitting our vulnerabilites. We're afraid that it makes us too different and that others can't relate. I find writing about it trememdously helpful and its such a good idea to surround yourself in a community of people who are willing to share their hurt, pain and loneliness with you. I hope you continue to share your thoughts with us. Thank you.
I am in the same position as you are in this poem, so I could totally relate to it. I know how hard it is to see others being happy and in couple, while you are all alone, wishing for love to knock at your door. As usual, I love the way you construct your poetry into a rhythmic story. Well done.
love finds you when the time is right
and satisfies your appetite.
for the things you dream about
So wait in hope and have no doubt.
That in due course your turn will come.
When you ready to welcome.
Reality instead of dreams
Life is never as it seems
These words, this path on and of which you conjure you rhyme, is one that that many people have traversed, hoping to feel sublime. I believe matches are made in the heavens and the gates glow like lanterns in the breeze. As long as one has a candle to guide them and the faith to keep it burning along their journey, they shall find the other half of their equation.
A very beautiful and quick witted poem. I definitely prefer more traditional poetry, which you nailed tremendously. It seems as if most poems nowadays are too prose heavy and border on flash fiction. And, then to break the fourth wall in the final line made my literary heart flutter. Great job, and keep up the good work!
