ALONE

I am alone.
Yet, I am not alone.
Time and people whirl around me
In a circle of emotion.
Yet I do not feel it.
I reach out to people,
But never far enough.
I cry out for comfort,
But no one hears me.
My tears fall like rain,
But no one feels them.
I give signs of my pain,
But no one sees them.
The world surrounds me,
Yet I am alone.
I am alone.

~Angela Erin Burke~

"My tears fall like rain"

Awwww comeon, I know you could do better then that! We're POETS here, we want people to see things in a way that they've never seen them before... I know you can come up with something more original then that...

lol......you're right........this was my first poem I ever wrote, so I'm not going to change it for sentimental reasons, but thanks for the pep talk!

Sure! Perhaps if you aren't really wanting to change anything for sentimental reasons (which is certainly understandable), this would be more appropriate posted on the Open Forum? Just a thought

I have to agree with Red on this one. I see where you are going and the feelings you are trying to express - lets see if we can be less cliche...

Despite what everyone else thinks, I think that the poem is beautiful.

Don't get discouraged and please keep on writing.
