Loneliness The Beggar Poem by Lii Steinberga

Loneliness The Beggar

Perfect crowd for Loneliness
The beggar of your will
Who pardoned me for daring and gambling away
And standing oh, so still

Perfect crowd for Loneliness
The beggar of your will
Who pardoned me for daring on my feet to bear
A quiver to my voice he gave me
An echo to my silence

A night with Loneliness brings in the more the crowd
Of drunkards, entertainers and longing choosers of a lie
In the darkness of a room where Loneliness the beggar lies

His days are dark and nights are bright
A sunny day with him could be neat for a while
For it would give me something to long for and cry for
Oh, when will Loneliness, the beggar begin to bet on my feet and voice again
When will he come out again and stand with me underneath the sunny sky

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem is about my relationship with loneliness and how it affects my life. The feeling, or rather an action of choosing to be alone, I made it a character, as if it were a real person in my life. Loneliness - he is a quiet, good for nothing gambler. An allower of darkness and misery with no morals. He is an addict and a poor beggar. He doesn't do any good at all, yet I live with him. I don't know if this poem turned out any good, yet it is something that I wrote while feeling lonely. Feeling little to no hope about my future. A lot of us feel like this, I must think. It is a fact and I know it to be true. I have grown closer to loneliness, who brings in his own crowd and it is a bad one at that. How does one grow to feel so comfortable with loneliness? For we were created to not be alone in this world. How do we grow apart from loneliness and how do we start falling in love with being together with happiness again. With other people in togetherness. I hope to improve in my thinking and writing. I would love to hear what you, the reader, think about this poem. Thank you for reading.
