A Poem Cannot Diminish The Loneliness Poem by Shalom Freedman

One poem cannot erase the loneliness, only express it to the world. Many poems over the years helps us to live with the loneliness, experiencing it in many different ways, helping us to understand it a little better through the seeing of our feelings, I think. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

Writing about loneliness does not diminish it, but admitting it to the world somehow makes the burden lighter. It stirs up hope that someone will read our words and come to the rescue. When others recognize our loneliness and acknowledge it, it's as if they're helping us carry our burden.For a while, it seems to be lighter. It's short-lived, of course, but these little spurts of hope give us the chance to recover a bit of strength, making it easier to go on.

I also do agree that a poem cannot erase the loneliness, rather makes it more aggravated. You may read my poem A misery
