    "Loneliness, My Third Poem"

     My third poem

     

    “Loneliness”

     

    who can define loneliness?

    and the many ways to experience it?

    when one is lonely,

    what’s the reason?

     

    is it because a loved one has gone?

    or because they’ve left?

     

    is it self pity?

    when alone, when thoughts crowd in,

    is that what it is?

     

    do I know loneliness?

    is this poem a farce?

    I think I know loneliness,

    but cannot be sure,

    I’ve experienced it in my heart,

     

    I just pray to God,

    that I never know,

    loneliness from life.
