Lonely Poem by Nissi lunga

Lonely

Rating: 5.0


I am so lonely with the walls as my companions,
without friends, I listen to my own opinions.
My fingers stand together but, I alone,
no entertainment of sociality even on my phone.

I feel like I have a planet of my own,
my hyper attitude cooled without a crown.
My breath as the only source of fresh air,
Alone is bad place to be anywhere.

My imagination can not fiction a friend,
I am at friendship's dead end.
No stones to count to pass time by,
telling strangers about friendship would be a lie.

My heart yearns for giggles of mates,
LONELY, my forehead clearly states.
No relative to speak to about home,
my heart's patience short as a gnome.

My mind moves in zig-zag sequence,
far away from the world with immeasurable distance.
A question strikes my mind a second time,
'Am I to be lonely forever, faking like a mime? '

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Thereare times where i want to be alone, but sometimes... my peers are who iwant to interact with. As someone who is not allowed to go out for any social purposes, I sometimes fail to socialize when i get the chance. I don't know if i am being ridiculous or what? But as a human being we need to socialise and know the types of people the world has and how we can deal with different personalities when push comes to shove... you know!

Such a sad, yet powerful poem. Congrats on POD, Nissi.I'm curious on your comment - as someone who is not allowed to go out for any social purposes. Is this a cultural restriction?
