Lonely Poem by Zena Blank

Lonely

Rating: 3.0


why are we built to be with another
why is it so difficult for society to accept loneliness
loneliness releases us
companionship
while great at first
drains us; prevents either party from being free
while when one is lonely
they are not bound by the rules of relations
the burden of always awaiting another's approval
a lonely person sets their own rules
coffee at 3am? the lonely person will go out
a person with a companion will not for fear of judgement
judgement, its a funny thing
when we are with someone one our fear of it increases intensely
lonely people don't share that fear
they accept themselves
intern ignoring the bombardment of silent opinions
we are made to be lonely

I say negative. One can enjoy one's own company but we are social creatures. In complete and utter isolation one would go insane. Then again people in society go insane. Then again maybe they feel so isolated that it amounts to the same anyway. Physical or emotional isolation is very much the same. Deep.
