A Lonely Self Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

A lonely woman,
How lonely
And alone!

Into the streets
And paths of life
And the world.

She treading alone,
Childhood, youth, but shadows
Trailing behind.

A lonely woman
Lonely in life
And the world.

Where was she,
Where did she grow up
And where has she come to?


The questions mesmerizing
Her self,
Questioning in askance.

Her self and womanhood,
Her virginity,
Character.

A lonely woman
Lonely on the paths of life
And the world.

Lonely, all lonely,
A lonely woman
On the paths of life she but alone.
