What do you think this poem is about?

So alone!

So alone in my bed
Alone listening to nightly whispers
Alone in my thoughts
Alone standing in court
Alone I stand and fight
Alone I pray for rainbow lights

Alone in the morning I awake
Alone I celebrate my joys
Alone I cry out my sadness
Alone I voice out my fears
Alone in strenght

Alone in wealth
Alone in good health
Alone I try to understand
Alone I seek knowledge
Alone I share what is mine
Alone I try not to be alone
Alone when my time has come, I pass away

    i like this poem. I share with your poem the loneliness of being alone even for a moment. Actually, i'm always feeling alone even if i'm with somebody else.

    It's a wonderful poem.
    I'm 17yrs old.
    i write poems when im alone.
    i luv 2 be alone...bcoz i feel some happiness in being alone
    i use loneliness as a key 2 my dream land.
    Alone........not even my shadow......follows me.

    Alone I recited this poetry
    Then loneliness gave round of applause
    At that moment I knew I ‘m not alone


    Sweet poem Sylvia.

    Lovely poems Sylvia. Sometimes I wonder what the one we lost does
    instead of writing poetry. Are we the winners?
