#80 Loneliness

I am a 12 year old student. Not too long ago my parents went through a divorce. Sometimes, I feel very lonely and have to try and fight those feelings that lie deep in my mind.

Loneliness

by Little T

Loneliness is blue like sadness.
It tastes like a sour lime with salt on it.
It smells like rotten food and causes madness.
For fun it likes to do nothing but bad things.
While almost everything makes it angry
Everything makes it sad,
But nothing makes it happy.

Loneliness is smaller than you and me,
But bigger than peoples' minds.
Happiness is its enemy,
But nothing can be its friend.
Loneliness keeps its happy feelings in a secret place.
Its favorite place is in peoples' minds.
But it hates to be anywhere else.
Making people feel bad is its greatest success.
Not cheering people up it is greatest failure.
Loneliness makes me feel as sad as a deserted island.

i know how feel cause my parents were together when i was borni nmy mother hates my dad and all i wanna do is meet my dad
Camille

Wow. that was a great poem. im around the same age as you are and my parents have divorced not too long ago. I can remember the feelings like it was yesterday. you really embraced the concept of lonliness. not everyone can put their finger on what it means, if its good or bad, or anything at all. you really did a great job on this poem but at your age try to pull away from that drama and talk to somebody about it. writing poems and keeping these feeings to yourself isnt always the best thing to do.

Its one of the best poems that I have read. I write a few myself but coming from a 12 year old, its definitely great. Describes LONELINESS to the word S. Little T, u might be little but to me you are mighty.

Rachel

u wont get over a divorce ever, don't let your parents tell you that you will. But not trying to sound bad, my parents divorced when I was 4 and now I am 14 with step parents, 3 step brothers and a step sister. You will learn to love the people that you grow up with and you will learn to deal with the pain.
taylor
