Poem -

Isolation

In a city so full of many

Why can’t I find a friend

One loyal true companion

That life will finally send

I’ve tired of the loneliness

And emptiness I found

The sorrow paralyzed me

Its sadness it compounds

It’s hiding in the hidden recesses

That lurk inside my soul

Its fangs, they grip at heartstrings

Destruction as their goal

A breakdown of my person

Disintegrating heart

An identity collapsing

Before a union starts

Immersed in a veil of sadness

My brain, it finally rests

Escaping from the emptiness

Reminders of my past

The gap that I am feeling

Fills up its empty well

Recharged with expectations

Wraps up the barren shell

When rays of dancing sunlight

They finally appear

With thoughts and dreams of happiness

Salvation looming near

Because each and every person

He needs to the believe

And spend time in his company

And find his own reprieve

Then, he can find his circle

And secure his niche

His solitude will dissipate

And he will find his wish

And then the world will follow

And the crowds will chase

And solitude and company, discord and joy will embrace

Aah, I'm so sorry and that is why we're poets.  I hope things will turn around for us. :)

Have to accept the plight 

then fight & pray 

building self worth every day 

and important to have fun even 

on ones own.

Depending on others is not so good. 

Depend on self is better first. 

Forget luck; we aim higher. 

Live & learn....

Hi Alona,

A true friend is indeed a difficult quest.  Some of us are fortunate and we meet them when we are young, and we become eternally bound.  Yet, for others, the hunt is incessant for that special person, that will become their loving  confidant.  Some search forever, never to find the formula of a friend's formation, destined by fate to live in loneliness.  Yet others,eventually hap upon that one special living soul that will release them from their solitude, as happiness and joy now rule.  Great write.  Welcome to Cosmo.

Peace and Love,

xox Larry

Thank you so much!  They say the best writing is from experience.  I have good friends, but they are not around me and I find myself in a state that I describe.

I appreciate your feedback very much.  It is so nice to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Alona.
