when i'm ALOnE

Sitting alone in this crowded room...
Talking to mere strangers...
Not a single true friend in sight but yet so many...
They all leave me aside when I feel scary...
But for the world I live in there eyes…

No one knows how it feels…
When I’m alone…
When I’m sad…

I’m left in this lonely place…
like a innocent child seeking my mother's sight…
Don’t know where to hide…
Don’t know whether to fight…
I’m in love with my loneliness

No one knows how it feels…
When I’m alone…
When I’m sad…

Everyone here is wearing a mask of kindness…
But the reality lies beneath there eyes…
I don’t wanna fight…
I don’t wanna hide…
But it makes me cry…

No one knows how it feels like
When I’m alone…
When I’m sad…

Sitting in the dark place weeping all night…
Makes me feel sorry for my reality…
I was not good enough to make a true pal…
Or may be this place is full of scorpions…
This leads me to the world of darkness…
…
Because…
…
No one will ever know how it feels
When I’m alone…
When I’m sad…

I am alone now, but I am not especially lonely. My wife's been gone a week now. I can just pick up the phone and hear her voice. Or I could go to the Senior center and chat (mostly listen)(I think I will!).

I know I am only alone when I choose. I also know friendship is high maintenance. It takes a lot of work to to be a good friend. You've got to take the initial risk of opening yourself up to another; then you must spend time with them and be there for them. But it is all worth it! :)

This is a beautifully written poem. Could even be made into a song. Love and Hugs, charly

Sometimes we ourselves build walls around us, such that our nearest and dearest ones are distanced from us. The sad part is that many time we are unaware of the existence of this barrier. What one should do is search withing himself the genesis of the barrier, and bring it down ..

Loneliness has been nicely put into words, I must say :). Kudos to you!

Roy.

Congrats on your great winning poem

[Winter McPherson]

This was so emotional! Very dark but deep and heart wrenching. How lonely this world can be and you have really put that down on a page for us here. Great write!

"I'm left in this lonely place�
like a innocent child seeking my mother's sight�"

That struck a cord. So many implications in one small line. Very well done.

"Mask of Kindness", yeah, I've seen that mask before.

Great job.

[LlamaLord]

Very original. You real showed us all how you react when your alone or when your sad.
"I was not good enough to make a true pal�"
I really loved the realization you kept through out the piece. It's like you kept telling yourself, and as you were, you learning about yourself, which really brought out the heart. Thanks for the read!

"I'm in love with my loneliness" is a great line. I think we all go through times of loneliness and we feel like no one else understands. You did a good job of showing this through your poem.
