About the Poem

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.

This poem reminds me of myself. I never had true friends in high schools. I seldom talk to them. The question Was why can't I talk. I felt like I was being to childish but I don't know how to overcome it.

Alicia

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.

Hannah

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.

Leah

Hi there. my name is Leah i think you see that nad i love this poem. i as well as mnay others ive see ncomment have been through this same feeling. it is not a good one indeed. we all prolly have different stories to tell, but we all still have the same outcome. nice writing!:)

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

beverly

kaitlyn

My parents are going through a divorce right now and it can really put some damage on a kid. 3 things to remember : you're not alone, you are 10 times stronger than lonliness, and don't let your sadness take advantage of you and keep you from doing what you love.

latoya

This poem is fantastic and i loved it!1

Stephanie

My name is stephanie and I am 17 yrsold. When i was 10 yrs old my parents went thru a divorce. Except if they didnt they wouldve killed eachother. They were very abusive towards eachother. And even tho i was so young, i was so hurt and felt alone and unknown. Thats why i had to vote for this poem. Because i hear where the author is coming from. And just incase i wasnt blunt enough. It SUX!

Ana Lídia

It's a nice and sad poem. It's really the reality.

Jessie

your poem really got to me. even though my parents arent divorced, your put loneliness in a whole different perspective. its touching, good job on it, i could never write a poem that great :)

Rachel

I loved ur poem. My parents divorced last year right before my birthday, and i'm still trying to deal with it. I express my feelings in poems as well, im glad to see someone else that feels the same way. Your poem has helped me alot, thank you!

Ash

hey. this is a great way of putting how divorce feels and trust me i know for i went through one when i was three and i am going through one right now and i am 14. just know that the lonliness does go away and is relpaced with a greater love then before.

I myself have never gone through a divorce personally, but many friends have, and I've had to be there to hold them up. This hits the target dead on, I'm sorry that you had to experience it. I'd love to read more from you.
