Please don't get me wrong
I really am so blessed
But sometimes I'm overwhelmed
By so much loneliness
In ever corner of the world
I have friends everywhere
But there's so much space between us
I'm here and they are there
There are people near where I live
There lives are so mundane
I don't want to talk about the neighbors
to gossip, bitch, complain
In fact I don't want to talk at all
just have someone in the house
There's someone here occasionally
I think he is my spouse
We are islands in our culture
trapped here all alone
Just mums taking care of children
and maybe the father if he's home
I guess I sound so selfish
There are many worse of than me
But sometimes I’d just wish I had
some real life company

Take a whole life's loneliness, wrap it up in some tenderness, send it of to some emptiness, with all my love (Forever Now, Cold Chisel)

Being alone is not a crime and, at times, it is very pleasant. However, being lonely and alone is a disaster. I am a strange person in that I have spent the greater part of my life alone, yet I've never been lonely. How can you write, paint, or think things out with someone else talking to you all the time. Again there must be a balance. You are as alone as you want to be, company is always there when you need it most. Enjoy your life to the best of your ability, and as much as the economic situation will let you. Your poem is very good, flows nicely and puts your point out there plainly.Well done.
Cheers and best wishes.

I don't mind being alone, i love doing things alone, but i also like going out to the movies or just doing something nice with a friend, but everyone just seems too busy these days.
