Only For Myself Poem by Shalom Freedman

Only For Myself

Rating: 5.0


There are times
When being alone is freedom
And times when being alone
Is hell on earth -

We need to be alone
At times to work
And at other times we need others
Even for this-

Today I do not feel the blessing of freedom
But only the aching emptiness of no meaning
Of all I do by myself
Only for myself.

I really liked your exploration of this idea.. " the aching emptiness of no meaning Of all I do by myself Only for myself." A very instructive line for all of us. 10+++
