Hope you either like this or understand...




we are lonely...

We are lonely...

We are the ones that shy away,
set ourselves adrift,
nearly apart from others,
the solitary many.

 

 

You may think,
you may wonder,
you may say,
we are one of you.

 

 

But we are not!

 

 

We stand at the edge of your life,
neither in nor out.
Rarely speaking,
just seeing and hearing.

 

 

Don’t say you are sad,
we know you don’t care.
Just remember that we,
we many,

 

 

we are lonely...

This is very well written piece that has a brevity of words which make the theme even more compelling. There is nothing extraneous here. A very powerful impacting work

Well done!

Your poem also is about solitude. I am reading this only now, strange that we all are sailing in the same boat....

Unfortunately I understand perfectly.

I enjoy the leisurely style of your writing, and the format as it flows down the page. To borrow a term from wine aficionados—your poems breath well.

Welcome to poetbay!

Moving and striking commentary on the "apartheid of loneliness", if you will. It's so ironic that there are so many billions of human beings in this world, yet so many lonely people.

I like this a great deal and quite understand it...in an Eleanor Rigby kind of way :)
