LONER

a good reason why the moon and the sun are not friends anymore

Recluse is what you tagged me

Solitude has now became more fulfilling and peaceful

When I close my eyes I always see a little circle with no one but myself

Only I, can hear my screams & the thoughts tattooed in my mind

 

They say I am cursed, maybe but in a beautiful odd way

All I want is not to involve anyone in my fears

I would rather face them alone & not be judged

I am not burdened to pick anyone up, that way no one will pull me down

 

Trust is overrated, even wasps stopped making honey & parted ways

I betrayed myself once, I bet a friend can do much worse

People got a warm smile but it’s just the perfect disguise

I envy vultures, intimidating above all they travel alone

 

Ignorant, depressed, self-centred, weird,

I am used to the names they are no longer hurtful anymore

The sun broke up with the stars, they keep asking, why he gets to be alone?

There is no answer, they will understand when they are loners too

Maybe I am a weirdo but on a brighter note I enjoy my weirdness

Author's Note

I wrote this sometime ago when i was in a bad space and all i needed was to be alone.....

"Ignorant, depressed, self-centred, weird,

I could relate to this part of the last stanza because those words are also used to describe me. By other people and myself. The overall feel of this poem is beautiful. peaceful but dark and I absolutely loved reading it. One of my favorite today. Thank u so much for sharing it.

I can definitely relate to you! It's kinda hard to let someone in when you do a great job alone. You thrive in life more, you tend to do more that excites you. I am indeed a loner who gets lonely but I remember my peace and solitude then suddenly I can forget you. Awesome read!!!

(When I close my eyes I always see a little circle with no one but myself Only I, can hear my screams & the thoughts tattooed in my mind) A poignant a very graphic image here. "Thoughts tattooed in my mind" is nicely poetic. I'm glad that you are in "a better place" now! ~Sharon

It's frightening when we realize that sometimes, we can't even trust ourselves. This poem speaks a lot of truth not only of the pain others can put us through, but what we can do to ourselves. Great imagery in this piece, it drew a good picture :)

"I envy vultures, intimidating above all they travel alone" My favorite line. I can really relate to this poem and I'm sure many people have been here before. Being alone can be a good or bad thing.
