Loneliness

Loneliness.

.

I sit alone, surrounded by people.

.

And nobody hears (my silent scream).

And nobody sees (my invisible tears).

.

I sit alone, surrounded by people.

.

I wish to be you, I wish to be me.

I wish to be normal, I wish to be free.

.

I sit alone, surrounded by people.

.

Caught in the shackles, caught in the pain.

The shackles and pain that loneliness brings.

.

I sit alone, surrounded by people.

.

And nobody hears.

And nobody sees.

  • Nice one!  "I sit alone, surrounded by people"  That's exactly how I feel.  People often tell me that they know what lonliness is like but I think no, they don't really know.

  • Your poem says so much and I can relate it to how my son may feel. (if that makes sense)  He seems tortured at times by what many people would think are trivial things such as going for a meal with family.... 

  • i think what you have written is wonderful i know you will find a understanding person and you will no longer be lonely.

  • i'm lonely because the net have put me off people for good because they so nasty on the net i wont go near people off the net because i'm scared they will be nasty to me. 

  • That is really great and is exactly how I (and I'm sure many others) feel.

  • Thanks again, both.

    I wish these things came to me more frequently, but they don't.

    However, at times they just pop into my head, and when they do I try to write them down, if I can.

    As to the question of freedom, well, that depends on what one means by 'free', doesn't it.

  • T'is a really good poemCool. The sentiment is well expressed. However I would argue the NT's are prisoners of the illusion of freedom (thats probably just em being awkwardWink), but that is by the by.

    I do envy people who can express themselves by creative means.

  • I would always credit it to you - I only want to show it to my Mum - thanks.

    I think you are gifted at doing poetry, you should do more.

    That's awesome - did you write it yourself?

    Yes, I wrote it. Thankyou for the compliment. :)

    Do you mind if I printed it off and kept it in a book I have and showed it to my Mum?

    Please do. In fact, as long as you don't publish it without my consent, or claim it as your own work, I'm happy for you to do anything you want with it.

  • Hi Scorpion0X17

     

    That's awesome - did you write it yourself?

    That's how I feel all the time except with my Mum because she's ok and understands me most of the time and can get along with me really well.

     

    That's how I felt when they made me go to a big wedding, all day. I hated it and now I don't go to things like that anymore because they stress me out too much.

     

    Do you mind if I printed it off and kept it in a book I have and showed it to my Mum?
