Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring

    Gorgeous poem with a great meaning... uniqueness can alienate a person to the point of being so different that you don't understand people in general; it can turn you into a sociopath.
    'All I loved, I loved alone'

    Nice poem I can really relate to not only the message but the style... the more I read Poe's work the more he is becoming my favorite.

    A chilling portrait of what alienation and loneliness can do to a person, that is alien from everyone else, painful but beautiful.

    I heard, mostly on here, that Poe wanted to discard this poem and scratch it from his records.
    Not sure why, it might not be The Conqueror Worm but Alone gives me goose bumps every time I read it…Isn’t that the idea?
