I am a condradiction
all I want is to be alone
yet I fear it
for a lifetime
sitting under the stary night
night sounds
my company
I long for love
to be by my side
yet I push it away
it seems like what I want
I deny
what I seek
I hide from
I remind myself
of my goals
staying focused
on being the best me
this is what I will do
but in the end
I wonder
will I be alone

I like this one...and I love a poet who rambles...its honest and true...peace, Rhonda

Yes..this is the truth ...sometimes the heart is very unpridictable while defining and maintaning the relationship..it beahaves like a stranger..your take stating its truth is quite natural and powerful one..a strong verse you brought here..well done...

Michelle, once again you have written a piece in which I can relate to every word and all the emotion behind the words. I too long for love and push it away. I feel like a contradiction. I often wonder will I be alone. Wow. What gets me is that you can write this and be married. It saddens me that those who are married can feel as alone or even more alone than those of us who are single. I have male friends who feel alone lying in bed next to the love of their life. It makes no sense. It is not how life should be.

I loved the last line. It is a question i have been pondering inside myself the last few days. It was a great read. Good luck in the contest.

I think your best pieces come from your rambling on.
you should do it more often, you are very good at it.
My favorite part was
" I remind myself
of my goals
staying focused
on being the best me ".
This truly is a beautiful piece of poetry.
loveandblessings2u & your always

this reminds me of something i did a long time ago. so you know i like it. i find myself feeling the same way most days. you got me so everything should be alright

Ahhh... I know this feeling so well !!! The wanting solitude yet fearing it at the same time.. perhaps we both need relationships where we are loved and cherished, but also given space to breathe when we need it.. that would be ideal wouldn't it!!
I often think I will be alone... and perhaps that's how I should be.. sigh..

sorry, yet glad to hear you feel the same. I agree, ideal to be loved and cherished and given space! thanks for sharing your thoughts. It is all a mystery.
