In your twenties and alone
You scroll and scroll along your phone
A weird sad prickle in your heart,
Seeing how happy others are.
In your twenties and alone
Nobody waiting as you get home
A text here or message there,
Grants your soul a surge of air.
It hurts you more when you're alone
In your twenties, inside your phone
You thought it would be easier
Living this life, you thought you'd love.
Watching the birds from your sad dark desk
Remembering school days, as the best?
And every morning you want to die,
Knowing you'll only watch others fly.

Ohhhhhhhhh MARIANNE (lovely name) I hope tis is not too autobiographical ? Thanks for sharing~ lovely structure ! 20 lines ~ 5 quatrains ~ rhyming couplets BUT such a ad lament ! I'm 33 now and I remember my 20's ~ It was lonely sometimes waiting for MISS RIGHT being let down and sometimes letting others down because the "chemistry" was not right. I'm still single but my relationships are smoother than 10 years ago ! I can empathise ~ Thanks for sharing ~ more lease ! Yours BRIAN
Aw, thank you very much for the nice comments! No it was not so literal, was having a sad day so thought I'd get it down on paper...happier one next time?! Possibly. Nice to meet you 🙂
Ohhhhhhhh I#m pleased about that ! Too many sad poems on MPS ~ Mine are generallym optimistic ! Nice to meet you too I'm from ENGLAND ~ UK
Thanks for being my FRIEND ! The way MPS works is we comment on each others POEMS. I have also written a FUSION POEM on Flowers where you can add a STANZA. You have to scroll down on COMMUNITY and click on "developing" to see it ~ OK BRIAN
That's brill, I shall take a look tomorrow, thanks Brian. I'm England UK also!
sometimes we just feel alone
Yes I think people are dropping off the radar as I've got older, can be hard, feeling quite nostalgic lately!
i think we all visit that place, often.
When people drop off the radar in pour lives, its actually a gift from our higher power telling us that we need to make room for more influential energies in our lives...if you wanna be popular, be specific and ask and it will return..trust me...great work on your poem..hope to see more soon
I really like that idea, thank you!
