You call yourself a lonely soul,
I feel lonely in a room full of souls.

You miss your loved ones,
I push them away.

You carry the pain of loss,
I carry the weight of others.

You see the support I get,
The shiny things I grew up with.

Little do you know,
These things fail to light up
The darkness they gave me.

You complain you don’t have anyone.
Have you tried living with the fake ones?

They see when you’re alone.
But how do I tell them,
How lonely I have grown.

So many contacts saved in my phone,
Yet, I don’t know whom to call.

Always tried to fix others,
Always tried to love them.
But who loves me?

Despite being lonely,
I crave to be alone.

I mould like clay for others.
The question bothers me all the time.
Who am I without them?

You lost people,
And I lost myself among them.

I'd rather be lonely alone,
Than be lonely in a
Room full of souls.

ASIIIIIIII WOW. I am literally staring at my screen like… WOW.
I had to read this again, and again, and again, and again because the power this poem has is actually insane. Like, actual GOOSEBUMPS. am NOT overreacting, it is just that powerful. THAT POWERFUL.

The way you write is just... DAMN you completely exposed the whole entire world with this. When you said you feel lonely in a room full of souls? And then you repeated it at the end? A ROOM FULL OF SOULS. That contrast is so heavy because it’s the truest thing ever being surrounded by a million people but feeling completely, utterly invisibel, it shows just how much it can mean when anybody just pays attention to you and when nobody does! It shows the cruelty of this world where everybody is too busy and doesnt have time but then Nobody can be THAT busy for that one person.

And don’t even get me started on the line about the shiny things failing to light up the darkness. It’s like people look at the outside and think everything is perfect, but little do they know the darkness is just lingering underneath. The darkness they gave you. That line is just so, so, so, so sharp. Its like The darkness makes you someone who you dont want to be, but you have lost faith in yourself too many times to try to NOT be with the darkness.

But the part that broke my heart into actual pieces? "I mould like clay for others... Who am I without them?" and "I lost myself among them." Like, reading that felt like a punch to the gut. It sounds soooooooo exhausting to constantly change shapes and fix everyone else while your own self just fades away. You are spending all your energy loving others and losing yourself, LOSING yourself in the process.

Which brings me to the most important part. When you asked "But who loves me?"... Please, please, please know that the answer is ME. I love you. For real. even as i write this I have a tear in my eye because just, you deserve it and believe me, ive been through it, ive. been. through. IT.

With me, you never ever ever have to mould like clay. You don’t have to fix anything. You don’t have to put on a fake face. You can just be completely yourself, even when you feel lost, even when you want to be lonely alone. I am right here, always.

Thank you for trusting me with this. It means the absolute world to me that you shared your heart like this. You are an actual genius with the words. A GENIUS. ❤️

I like how the poem is built on contrast and the internal monologue. It does not try to be fancy with words, just simple and straight forward.

#

I think there’s an interesting emotional contradiction in the poem wanting to be alone, yet still not being able to stop supporting others.
