I'm Not Lonely, I'm Just Alone

Author:

I Feel Alone

It's dark and cold.

I feel alone.

Doesn't mean i'm lonely.

I just don't want any company.

I'm a hard worker.

I have to do it for my family.

Still holding on to my sanity.

I have many firsts to do.

But I won't rush it.

I know it will happen,

Someday.

Sometimes I feel alone.

I'll admit when i'm wrong.

I can be a little headstrong.

Just don't leave me all alone.

Cause i'll get bored.

Probably confess to the Lord.

I don't like to be ignored.,,,,

"I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."

— Oscar Wilde

"People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don't think that's true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world."

— Kim Culbertson

I am alone, but never lonely

Laughter behind me.

I ignore the negativity.

Girls walk beside me.

Hands are now turned into fist.

I thought we were friends?

I guess I was wrong.

I became independent.

And started writing songs.

They try to make amends.

I forgive, but never forget.

I am alone, but never lonely.

I totally agree, you can be alone without being lonely. I actually enjoy having my personal space and my own company from time to time. Nice work on these poems.
