John Beharry Poet Iambic Pentameter

Aloneness

Aloneness is different from loneliness
It is an occasion for personal growth
It gives an insight into humanness
And helps us realize our self worth

Being with others continually
Denies us from ever having a chance
To look at ourselves objectively
To build up our own self reliance

Self reliance is the key to coping
With acute periods of adversity
It provides us with an inner strengthening
To overcome and claim the victory

Self reliance is extremely vital
To avoid the feeling of loneliness
Which can happen when there is denial
Of other's support and togetherness

If you feel contentment in aloneness
It can help you to avoid a pitfall
It provides an inner based happiness
Which is the greatest happiness of all

Rob Bettridge April 2, 2016 at 10:52 PM I can empathise with your poem John as one can only reflect on through personal experiences once a repetitive cycle has been broken or withdrawn from. It seems Ironic how clearly one is then able to see the bigger picture introspectively reflected upon in a different and revealing light once viewed through a newly acquired set of eyes.
