Fighting Loneliness Poem by Richard Wlodarski
Fighting Loneliness
Loneliness killing me
Suicide now threatens
Breath of life...too damn strong
2) cont'd: In retrospect, this poem was meant to be part of the Kerouac Lives series as it relates to him and not me. I apologize for any confusion it may have caused.
Bharati and Savita, thank you very much for your support and encouragement. This poem was written 3 years ago in which I had been in a different frame of mind. Suicide has not, is not, and never will be an option for me.
Loneliness is a killer but living spirit is strong to push back again and again. Together we work it out with whatever means available.
Great to hearing from you again, Savita. Looking forward to reading some more of your poetry. Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement!
'Breath of life...too strong' .Loneliness takes beauty out of life. Good that you have overcome it.
Bharati, you've always been a good poetess friend! From the bottom of my heart, thanks so very much for all of your support and encouragement!

Its interesting how we all approach it, loneliness has been the companion all my life, but I understand how you feel,
Kevin, thanks so much for your very honest response. Maybe I'm different from most people, but I've learned to accept the loneliness.
