Loneliness
as the sunlight slowly faded away
the city lights flickered on, one by one,
illuminating everything on the outside
and casting a shadow on the inside;
as time slowly ticked past,
the darkness inched closer and closer
spreading its shadows across the land,
my inner self comes alive;
as much as i struggle and curl underneath the blanket,
my fears come alive, and slowly engulfs me from the inside
and tears up the mask that i so successfully put on during the day;
fears that torment me from the inside during the day
comes alive as soon the light fades away and i am back into my den,
with a mind of its own, tormenting me every single night,
sometimes i wished i was dead;
surrounded by many,
yet isolated and alone,
i try to reach out to people
but succeed in grasping just empty air;
struggling to keep my sanity,
i plunge myself into darkness
for its the only place to hide
to cope with all this,
i give up and cry myself to sleep;
it’s tiresome to want something you don’t have, and each morning
i wake with loneliness by my side, each day I walk with it’s presence
in my footsteps, each night it lies hand in hand with my insomnia;
perhaps i have become invisible?
or have i become just an figment of imagination?
they cried on my shoulders and i soaked up their tears,
asking for nothing in return, but when i need someone,
where did they all go?

Thats whats going on with me everybody hates me these days and i’m tried of it. But i gotta live with it until i die. I just wanted to put a commment about how i feel thats all. Thanks for listening to me.
great man this is what u described it all
Beautiful insights beautiful poem , its raw and straight from the hand
u’ve clearly brought out the sense of solitude in every man, in beautiful words…i myself write only lonely stuffs n i do find a beauty in it….but putting it in those melting kinda words is wat is the total effect..u’ve done a grt job!i loved it so much… keep it up!
This is how i feel, this poem really touched my heart…
these words had put tears in my eyes as it reflects my very own shadow..i feel that in this circumstances your heart is just plain hollow..the emptiness and fear that no one else can understand..we only want someone to hear and stood and hold our hand!! the emptiness ..the heartache ..we search and search for missing piece..just keep your faith..theres always hope ..life is great to live!!!
this poem reflects a part in all our lives, and each person to read this poem will feel a sense of belonging and relies than no one is alone in this world, or in the next.
deja vu
its like somebody else experienced and told my life in their own words.
Oh, see Lady Jane in her Ivory Tower
Imprisoned by chains that eyes cannot see
Beguiled by a prince
Lain in sheets of white satin
He’s off fighting dragons
She sits so lonely
It is a reflection of myself…I had also tried to communicate and tried reaching out to my friends but succeeded in ‘gasping just the empty air’…..the poem has beautiful insights…and those who feel it understand it well…
it’s like my life in somebody’s WORDS.
it’s really PAINFUL.
