Alone And Special Poem by David Taylor

Alone And Special

Rating: 3.5


I have always known
I am special and alone.
From earliest childhood memories
I remember.
I saw the world full of promise
as a vastness of light and purity
full of creatures and children and adults
out there and here at home.
A kaleidoscope of changing colours
movements with divine choreography.
Deeply hurt when man’s hard shell
impinged upon the beauty
I knew so well.
In a vast playground
wanting just to play
trying to stay out of the bullies’ way.
Feeling lonely most everyday
until I realised that in disguise
it was always you right by my side.
And then I saw that I always knew
you are so special and I am too.
We are alone, I and the I in you.

I really like your poem. I think everyone knows that alone feeling at times, but more so the tender hearted. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Well, I can certainly more than relate to being alone, the 'I' in the 'I', , , , In order to cope one has to love oneself and know that they are good....Only way to survive many, many days...and another reason to write.What makes it even harder is people in today's world that lack compassion and are unable to forgive or give a hand to one who is drowning, sad especially with so much sadness and evil that those we think we know just more or less abandon us and can't accept mistakes and human failure..........this is a special poem David written well and making lonliness appear as making one special...Must remember that, difficult to do most days....sometimes it's just best to stay in bed or escape alone to an Island.............thanks for this one..nice to see you're still on site, wasn't quite sure if you were anymore.............marci.
