Poem of Lonliness

Every night his head rests upon me

Each day the weight of his thoughts and burdens grow

Can no one honestly see

His desire for happiness and life will no longer flow

Alone, trapped in a nightmare

Waiting to feel the fall and wake

He has created his own lair

And wont let anyone in for their own sake

All I can do is sit here and watch

Oh look, what a surprise, another notch

His sorrow is flattening me

And I believe its time for people to see.

Notes

We had to write a poem in my grade 12 drama class about a time we felt lonely. We then had to share them with the rest of the class. Thanks Mrs Benson for always pushing me and caring for me. You were the best teacher I've had yet.
