Lonely

Someone once asked me are you lonely?

And I answered “Who me only”

Although this world with people is rife

I've been lonely all my life

some people like peace and quiet and prefer to be alone, perhaps lonely, but that is their choice. generally speaking humans are social creatures and prefer to socialize with others.... I like your poem because it speaks to loneliness, which many us us do dwell upon; an important matter in this Brevity poem.

Sad but true, Soren! Especially the sensitive souls / poets who are most attuned to the need of a connection.

Thank you so much for the review and most kind words.

There are times when loneliness can be hard to accept, but there are times when loneliness is our best friend. I too feel lonely most of the time even though I seem to be constantly amidst people.

I wonder why I don't see your poems on my home feed. I feel like I miss so many.

Will we must be synchronized. You hit on the very point I had in mind. No loneliness is not all bad, in fact we are all alone in the most basic way, no one enters our skin, no one enters our mind.
