Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring

    I admire Poe but if u read through these comments tons of people basically wrote the same thing...If we are all so alone than how can this be? ? I know how it feels to be alone and I know its hard, but just look...your not alone, and neither was Edgar he just didnt know it and neither do you. Just because we are smart enough to think on our own doesnt mean we are alone all you people from around the world have been totally brought together by this man...THAT is why i LOVE Poe...and ur not alone you have all of us.

    It's true, being different can be hard. It can get a little frustrating when you realize that all the things you love, no one else seems to care about. I know how Poe must have felt on that topic... so I guess the reason I love this poem so much is because I can relate. :)

    Alone and susceptible, they go hand in hand. A brilliant poem about how it feels to be different...

    He seemed very lonesome, I loved his poetry. It is really excellent. He sounds like he is in mourning. He has so much compassion when he writes but it is really sad. I think he was a very lonely man.

    Alone is such a great poem, he discribed it so well, or more like he described himself so well,
