Poem about being alone
This poem about feeling alone admits that even the luckiest among us experience eye opening moments where we question our path in life.
I can’t pick myself up
From this one
It hit me all at once
The love I thought I’d found
The pain I thought I’d lost
The peace I never felt
The strength I’d always faked
The tears I’d bottled up
The dreams I never admitted.
I don’t recall my life to now
It happened so fast
The painful waterfall
I sit and watch
Detached from myself
Above this world
Suspended and alone.
Sometimes everything hits us all at once. We sit alone and our failures wash over us. We feel sudden painful reminders of lost love or the love we never found. This makes us feel alone.
How could I be this old and alone?
Why does love always end up hurting?
Will I always be this lonely?
Poem Background
The author wrote this poem because they felt love was just beyond their reach. This called into question a lifetime of decisions. Maybe you feel like love evades you. Perhaps you found love and it was only a temporary glimpse of bliss.
Though you’ll go through a period of detachment and disappointment, never give up on sitting peacefully with yourself and sensing love in the breeze around you.
See your waterfall as collective drops of awareness rushing toward you with love.
Don’t be overwhelmed by the majestic noise of nature’s persistence to share love with you.
There are special moments we can only experience alone. Though it seems loneliness is a formidable silence, nature affords us the gift of expanse, a complete openness where no one can destroy our peace. Observe beauty outside of external impressions. Feel love from within the force of nature.
