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

Such sad honesty flowing from within your heart.. loneliness is a very sad path to take.. we have to embrace being alone and find productive things to do with that energy!!! Much like this writing.. there are many who do feel this .. many deny it but then we have to kick ourselves and pull out of it. Life is simply too short to live like this long.. for those who do I pray for them.. that they find happiness in themselves. I have been down that path.. never again.. for I have children and love for myself. I have other beliefs too that help me work things out when the going gets tough.. I hope you recover if this is how you truly feel.. I admire your honesty and sharing this writing! =)

"full of scorpions"
Great line. A dark poem that captures that sense of loneliness even when in a crowd.
Good write.
Cheers.

OK, still sullen, dark, and sad of course. Penned well. Nice poem. But I insist you need to use your talent to do something light. Tell me some story in verse about a good time, a happy time, how you see spring, about a flower. Will you take the challenge? Still, good poem.
