LONELY
12 years ago when I was a child
In nursery where I study
I go to others wanting friends
But loneliness was all I get
Life was meaningless that time
It felt like a jail full of kids
Laughter filled the whole wide world
But in me… darkness is all I feel
In kindergarten where life was new
I felt that something could renew
But when I see the kids laughing
Again darkness fills me through
Tears fall down as I come
Thinking loneliness will partner me
And of all places I could go
Would I want a place down here
Mummy mummy where are you?
I do not want to stay in school
For this place is nothing much
More than a place of loneliness
Of all the things that happened
Loneliness was all I learnt
For everyone called me to move
And thus I had nowhere to go
Primary school started for me
I thought I could start anew
But no one came to say hello
So I cried and walked away
On the first day of school tears fell down
I could not understand why
Nobody wants to be my friend
When everything I did had not been wrong
As time pass by I grew up fast
But because there was loneliness
I did not know who I was
And as a result I turned off
Away from the world I now become
For everyday bullies come
And now to me friends were far
Useless, hopeless and meaningless
In life I could feel nothing
There were too much for me to think
And how I wish I did not come
Into the world of loneliness
This poem is about a little boy at the young age of 16. He experienced loneliness since young, but nobody cared or loved him. Thus, as he grows older, his thinking about friends are basically another type of human. When i wrote this poem i felt alot because a child who can experience so much since young can suffer as he grows up. He could have become a socialistic person, but because of what had happened the boy changed and became a loner. Some of you could be stuck in a situation just like this, why don't you step out of it today and perhaps try to socialize abit? Friends can be the most destructive people, but at the same time they can be the most helpful people. Today if your looking for a friend who can listen, I'm very willing to volunteer myself =)
