I Dramatize My Own Loneliness Poem by Shalom Freedman
I Dramatize My Own Loneliness
I DRAMATIZE MY OWN LONELINESS
I dramatize my own loneliness
I am not as alone as I make myself out to be
I have been lonelier in the past
I am certainly not as alone as many
Who have no one close or near in any way-
The truth is
I love a certain kind of aloneness
The solitude my work requires.
I have family and friends
And people who share my values
Each day I pray with others to G-d.
I am not as alone as I try to make out
Though sickness and dying wait to prove
Loneliness greater than I want it to be.

I think maybe we all do this to a degree. How could we not? We don't know what it feels like to be anybody else or how anyone else feels loneliness (or any emotion or feeling for that matter) . So when we feel this ourself it seems no greater a loneliness could ever exist. Then, later when we consider it we realize we're not all that much lonely as we are merely dramatic. Relatable and well presented. Good write
