Best Loner Poems

Odd bird stands out among the seaside flocks
Taller, leaner with red stripes round one eye
Squats in the sand, oblivious to mocks

Opens his beak, emitting a strange cry
Gulls spread their wings, rise high and relocate
Odd bird remains, doesn’t take to the sky

Acceptance by others is not...

He is like a distant aloof star
in this universe we all call our home.
A tiny insignificant star and so estranged,
he is but a flicker among billions
and billions of glittering entities populating endless skies,
always waning, and yet, in the evening shadows
ever staying - unassuming, solitary, and...

If you look deep into these sad hazel eyes
You'll see a man tormented mirrored in the sands of time
Clinging to the last strand of sanity in his burned out mind. 
Living out each day choosing to believe the lie
Of dreams coming true while they pass...

The Loner goes on
Imagining friends
He heads for a coffee
With hopes to an end
 
He looks at the counter
Then raises his head
And wonders why
All his looks are of dead
 
He picks at his pocket
Not sure what’s inside
Hoping it’s nothing
Wanting outside
 
He tugs at his money
Begrudging his...

It doesn’t
come natural
to me
I wish it did
I wish I were
but
a team player
I’m not
never learned
wish I did
wish I had
I prefer
to do it all
on my own
I wish I didn't 
but always will

Cut out from the rest, feeling so left out
I lay my head on my hands and sigh:
Why did things have to happen this way
Why is it that I was denied?

Denied the basic friendship,
A meager ounce of which could help,
To grow in thought, deed, word and...

He chose the hard and doubtful life
A life of booze and sin
He was a hard and ruthless man
With no love held within

He met this timid bashful girl
While walking home one night
Her windblown hair, her honest eyes
Presented quite a sight

He tipped his hat and said; "How...

Like a shadow within a shadow merging with the darkness of night, I am the shadow merger
Like the sense of invisibility that cloaks my corpse from humanity`s gazes, I am Lord Voldermort
How does a shadow want to metamorphose into an actual silhouette?
Under what inclinations do...

Chronicles of a long Distant Race

I arrive amidst all the chatter and confusion
that seems to haunt all pre-race activities,
friend greeting friend,
club member greets fellow member,
New shoes, shorts and shirts being shown emulously.
Profusions of Vaseline used in all those little places,
stretches of an overweening nature giving...

It’s lonely a cold night of rain
And I compose me a piece
From the pattering of drops
On the steel roof
With claps of thunderbolt
And swish of the wind

Of somebody next door who
Left somebody alone song!

The tap of my feet accord 
With the crack of my teeth
When there’s...

Familiar faces pass me by,
People I know, love and despise.
Some are lucky to be in the “in-crowed”,
Others seem as if they just don’t care.
As for me, well I’m just a loner passing by.
I put on a mask of confusion to hide my true side;
One that...

I AM A LONER

I am a loner because am lonely
I am who I am because of segregation
When I endeavour to integration
There is always a pause back to my imagination


I have arrested myself to labour
As a born free I am  
I am not quite exposed...

Once there's a moon
Lived by dangle lights in vacant space
Encircle with no purpose, but created as a boon
Twirl and twirl, lonely on its pace

Collecting stars and herding constellations
Beneath the blank surface they dance together
Catch verses in lyrics, and conceal the lonesome in consolation
The moon makes...

Luna the loner seems to be lonely
She's always to herself, she's very quite homey
She has a few friends, she's not really phony
That's one of the reasons why she likes to be lonely
Unlike the others, Luna is boldly
Alluring men then dumping them coldly
Female friends, losing them...

He is so angry; school is the least of his worries.
Sad are his days; he is nine.
Grandma wants to kick them out; step grandpa hates them
aunt hates them
everyone hates them
they have lived in and out of shelters.
been kicked out - he and his three year...
