Loneliness Poems
reaching out
by Mackenzie Bilz
Reaching out
Desperate, pleading
But no response
No response
No response
Although I’m trying
Although I’m dying
There’s no response
No response

my home
by Mackenzie Bilz
A river without fish.
A mountain missing its goats.
A desert without cacti.
A forest missing its frogs.
A street without bugs.
A garden with only one flower.
A house without people.
A park with only one swing.

i am dead
by Mackenzie Bilz
I feel so alone
It feels exhilarating
This loneliness
Just thinking about
Nothing
Drifting
Falling
Oh…
Drowning

the loser
by Mackenzie Bilz
My eyes whirl as I try to wrap my head around it
My brains scramble as they attempt to understand it
Nothing makes sense anymore, it’s no use to try
All I can do now is stand here and cry
Everyone’s left me and left no reason why
Confusion envelops me as the end runs nigh
I’m left here in sorrow, in isolation so cold
Apology does nothing, so it is here I fold.
Conversation with self
by Astha Verma
Time went by
And I was still there
There's 7 yr old me laughing
Can you hear what she saying
"Still no friends, what a sad being."
With that I shout, "No, I have"
"Really ? Someone to go out with ?"
"Someone to laugh with ?"
"Someone to do insane stuff with ?"
I wish I could say yes firmly

Unearth me or not, your choice
by John Hughes
No one wants to know me and unearth the beauty that is me
So why should I care about you
I’m someone that cares so much for the wrong people
But I’ve reached out to the others
We have decided that we don’t care to know you anymore
You know the worst thing you can do to a man is lock him in a cage and leave him with no one to speak to
The universe looks out for me, and it had to cage me because I was foolishly looking in the wrong places for love
It knew I would work endlessly and fruitlessly
But I’m caged looking for the keys to my heart but I hear the dead silence of you and my despair drums inside my brain
You’re torturers of great skill and I’m saying goodbye to you

The trouble with miscreants
by John Hughes
Put your cigarettes on me, put it on me, put it in me and I’ll smoke the motherfucking ashes
Cast me aside with the rod and don’t spoil this child
They Threw me in the basement where I couldn’t hurt or affect anyone my whole life
I’ve been a pariah for as long as I can remember
And now this tower, anything but this tower of loneliness
It takes so long to see a person here, they walk up the steps and give up halfway
And when they do make it up the stairs all I hear is the echo of their judgement
I’m a rabid, radical resistor, a rabble rouser, and a runt of the litter
They never taught me how to be a man, so I’m this child instead
And I’m not good enough to be friends with some of you, it seems
......
Looking for you
by John Hughes
Looking for you in all of them and her
A love like my dreams
It has to exist, I’m sure
I’m torn apart at the seams
Surfacing in the deep blue
Waiting for you to swim out
I miss you and I don’t
Because I’m sure you don’t exist anymore
They say everyone has someone
Then how come I have no one

Lonely Pebble
by John Hughes
Lonely old pebble
Smaller than the rest
And obtusely round, no fun to skip
Orange with red speckle and a green heart
Yet no one would say I’m their favorite rock
But I would say I’m a good rock
A good rock to hold
A good rock to draw a smile on
I’ve waited and waited so long to be cared for
I guess I will remain a stone
