The Loneliest Place

The Loneliest Place

A Poem by Miles Wilburn
"

The loneliest place of all.

"
I am lonely
but not alone
unkempt, my hair short but long
clean but messy
my room is a disaster
papers are scattered
but i don't care
I slide the clutter on my bed to make room to sleep
I sleep on one side of a two sided bed
live one side of a two sided life

I close the curtains to shut out the sun
I turn on fans because I'm too hot
I put more blankets on because I'm too cold

People worry because they don't see me
but then ignore me when they do.
I get phone calls when people want something
and voice mail's when I call

My mind it tends to wander
to the places it shouldn't roam
the loneliest place I have found
is where I dwell the most

So I packed my bags to travel
except there were no bags to see
because how can I run from something
when it lives inside of me..

Wow. Just...wow. Miles, this was an amazing piece of writing that, in every single word poured out the emotions you have within yourself. It's clear to see there is a little inner termoil in you that you are dealing with. This poem was beautifully written and it flows well. Like Everson said, dont stop writing because you DO have an incredible talent and a knack for writing stuff like this. The writings you've written, I've observed, are mostly written on emotion and those writings written off of raw emotions are some of the best writings out there. In this poem, I especially liked the lines:
"because how can I run from something
when it lives inside of me.."
I can easily relate to those lines. It was a bind blowing ending that I didn't see coming, but just really finished off a great poem off amazingly. I enjoyed reading this a lot. It made me realize just how much I myself could even live by the words spoken through this piece of yours. Well done. (:

Wow!!! What an amazing ending. I read this poem and like the part
"I sleep on one side of a two sided bed
live one side of a two sided life" and then was enjoying it. But when i got to the end, with the finale ending on such a powerful rhyming sheme, i was completely blown away.
"So I packed my bags to travel
except there were no bags to see
because how can I run from something
when it lives inside of me.."Excellent poem and mind-blowing ending. Keep up the gr8 poems.
