Loneliness is a Woman

This poem is about feeling lonely even in a crowd full of people and how I have learned to find comfort in this sometimes overwhelming feeling.

Loneliness is a women
she follows me into crowds
Her presence would seem a burden
but really, she's not so loud

She's graceful in her walk
elegant and true
If you were to look around
I bet you'd see her too

She is not - a cheery person
no that is not her way
She reminds me more of water
her actions of the wave

She knows exactly what to do to me
she sways how I behave
Her weight upon my body
the crashing of her waves

But I don't mind her coming 
For she's become a friend
Someone to rely on
to always come again

In the end she's always with me
walking friend or foe
I find great comfort in knowing
she'll always walk me home

For loneliness is a women
and she follows me into crowds
She's become a great friend
and I think we'll stick around

Loneliness is indeed part of modern society...

This for me is an interesting write about the female experience of being lonely in today's times....

These were my favourite lines:

She's graceful in her walk
elegant and true
If you were to look around
I bet you'd see her too

Thanks for sharing..

Isabella B, loneliness is something we all deal with. Reading your poem, I see a woman who is at ease with herself. I can say any man who sees her walking with a true, elegant, graceful walk would definitely look twice. "She is not - a cheery person, no that is not her way." Would present a challenge to the right person to share a laugh with her. It is so good to see that she is confident and comfortable with herself. Support from the inside is always the strongest.
