What do you do when you have no one to talk to?
When you have no one to turn to
When you are all alone
When life feels error prone …
What do you do when you have no one to laugh with?
When you have no one to share coffee with
When you are thoroughly bored
When you feel horribly ignored …
What do you do when you have no one to hold you?
When you have no one to save you
When the past goes on forever haunting
When the future is equal measures daunting …
What do you do when there is no way out?
When you are plagued with self-doubt
When a hopeless muddle festers inside your head
When every moment of life you dread …
What do you do when you have no one to talk to?
When you have no one to turn to …
Wow. Reaching about halfway in the poem and seeing the pattern, I was thinking this couldn’t possibly be a meaningful piece asking only questions and not reaching any conclusion. And then I got to the last two lines which form the endless loop. Well done, dear poet, well done.
Thank you! Am thrilled that the vicious cyle of unending hopeless despair comes across.. But overall I always think the poems I write are childish. Never ever gave poetry thought before writersbrew. Now I hope that someday will write one that feels creative and doesn’t just follow a rhyme scheme.. Hope you are there to read it then..
is poem is nice..the never ending questions and doubts arising in loneliness…I wish I can find the answers for myself atleast:)
it may sound silly..but I’m glad in an odd way for this loneliness which helps you to pen it down and me to read it..I’m not the only one to rise questions for loneliness..haha..
Ohh sweet as always gprs. Not silly at all. I wrote this and was feeling silly, but then thought of going ahead to share because this is the place where we don’t have to hold back. Hope you find the answers. There is sadness in life but there are happy poems too :).. and for sad days we have asr and khushi hamesha … Thank you for reading.
