Alone

As a youngster, I felt alone to the core, Loneliness filled my very being and soul. Oozing out relentlessly; no peaceful shore, Nurturing and molding me, taking a toll; Every part of me gave in, I had no control. Contest:Try a Quincrosticain Sponsor:Andrea Dietrich 09-24-2023

Such relatable sad words Alexis so perfectly said! Youth for many can be such a time of loneliness, trying to fit in and finding your way! I hope you have found your way now sweet kind Alexis! Debx

Sometimes the silence of false praise makes us feel lonely, I loved this poem, if you wish go look the first poem I ever posted here, I was a teenager then.

Sad poem, Alexis. But true to life. Sometimes I feel I should not write sad stories. Maybe I am wrong. Yours is wonderful.

The loneliness and how it feels you’ve expressed so very well here. As i read your lines i cant help but feel the depth and sadness, and it hit so deep. I love this acrostic it flows so well and also your rhymes are brilliant. Very well crafted for the contest, goodluck

Hi Karen, I did, and it was my lifeline . It allowed me to express all of the feelings I kept bottled up inside. It did wonders for me. I experienced trauma as a kid. A person who I trusted took my innocence away. It messed me up big time. I appreciate that you visted my page.

I hope you do not feel alone anymore and you have loved ones around you.. I think many will relate to this.. sometimes we can have so many people around us but still feel so lonely..

alone, alienated, and unloved--your words tug the heart, Alexis. Those who have felt such a pain will instantly relate. Evocative write, my friend--succinctly delivered.
