Feelings of Loneliness

Feelings of Loneliness overtake me.

    Catching me off guard,

    they frolic with my complex and unique mind

    like its a worthless toy.

Feelings of Loneliness deceive me.

    At times when I'm seemingly enjoying life,

    they make a bold comeback

    by resurfacing and convincing me that

    they are my only companions in life.

Feelings of Loneliness attack me.

    When I begin to open myself to certain people,

    these feelings abruptly shut my subsconscious close,

    assuring me that no one will take interest

    in the many wonderful things that I have to offer

    that breathe vitality into the souls of mankind.

Fellings of Loneliness hurt me.

    With every enticing thought of love and friendship,

    these feelings viciously ravage and mutilate

    my heart and soul so no one will be able to

    gain happiness from my true sentiments.

Feelings of Loneliness kill me,

    because with every stroke of this pain,

    I'm becoming a heartless entity.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem a few months ago. During that particular time, I was feeling very lonely and set apart from peers. Occasionally, loneliness will try to overtake me. But as a whole, I am not a depressed person.

I felt I could relate more to this poem more than any other. I too have lived through "feelings of loneliness", feeling unwanted and unloved. You are a very strong person to write about that.The poem is great. Never stop writing.
