Alexis Y. Poet Rhyme

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.

Arthur Vaso September 25, 2023 at 11:15 PM 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.

Victor Buhagiar September 25, 2023 at 1:49 AM Sad poem, Alexis. But true to life. Sometimes I feel I should not write sad stories. Maybe I am wrong. Yours is wonderful.

Ink Empress September 24, 2023 at 11:20 PM 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

Karen Jones September 24, 2023 at 1:16 PM This is so heartbreaking! Did you write then? This touched my soul as I have felt this way in youth too! hugs Alexis Y. September 24, 2023 at 1:29 PM 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.
