Alone

Lifelong companion why do you cling to me ever so stubbornly like an old scar Shadow of ignorance, oh how you loom making me feel threadbare and alone. Deaf leopard of my existence, why do you not hear my cries ? Your rigidity has me searching for answers that do not exist, Feeling forlorn and un-accompanied by joy, I only have recourse to you Loneliness, why do you pursue me ? In this vast inner Universe of mine I'm seeking togetherness from anyone by you, Loneliness, please leave me alone help me, tear down these Jericho walls.

Dear Rose, Your poem reflects deeply with its raw emotions and poignant imagery. It captures the haunting presence of loneliness, a lifelong companion that weighs heavily on the soul. Your words beautifully convey the desperation to break free from its suffocating grip and find peace in togetherness. This is a heartfelt piece that speaks to the universal struggle against isolation and the yearning for connection. - Blessings Daniel

So many do Vijay, that is why it is important to stay connected with others, we are all the same within us, we all crave that human connection. Thank you for reading.
