I wished them all away
In that moment I roared like an aggravated lion
I thought they pushed me
But they were being their usual selves
I was carelessly angry
Now they are gone
I am sure it is what I wanted
But why do I feel regret?
I wanted to be alone
But I feel unbearably lonely
I need somebody to talk to
But nobody is here
Because I wished them all away
Be careful what you wish for

I know the feeling.

Haa … Ha … Just kidding … Depressed people always want to be alone … They want to be left alone … Anyone’s presence will irritate them … I used to cry a lot in solitude … Books/Literature gave me courage to live …

Believe it or not it works. I am not sure how, is it over water, or over air, but works.It seems that we are a part of one universal control panel . The Russians went far in that field, and they they managed to convey thoughts from one end of the world to another with metal caps of an elliptical shape.

I know that feeling! One of the hardest parts of depression is wanting to be alone, while simultaneously wanting to be with someone, ANYONE, who will just be there.

The decision to write in couplets in a poem about isolation both bewilders and intrigues me. It’s always nice to see challenges to traditional poetic form.

I never know how the layout is going to be when I write these. I just play around with them until I think they look right. By stroke of coincidence though, each pairing seemed to mirror one another, so that’s a bonus.

Well, an expert is one who knows their trade, their skill, at an authoritative level. I have read your writing, and I know you know that skill very well. Your writing also reveals a life that may have granted you (unwanted) significant experience in loss and isolation, and likewise recovery therefrom. You have simply taken both and combined them, and I believe your experience in both add up to an expert level of authority in regards to this poem. 🙂

Powerful ending.
The thing is that we have expectations that people don’t often meet, so we think we don’t need/ want them. But then, when they are gone, we wish we had them. Even in their imperfect ways. On a scale 1-5 two is better than zero.

Not your usual, yet emotionally charged and significant. Because of the logic, it becomes paradoxical.
Was this an old one you found in a drawer? Or a temporary missing of old friends?
