My Downfall
September 16, 2011
Being alone with a book in hand,
All alone with not a care in the world,
It's a freedom I can rarely enjoy.
I was made to be alone, I think,
And it doesn't bother me until I see
My past friends laughing with each other like we used to.
So now I wonder, is my book my downfall?

Oh, and plus I would appreciate it if you could check out some of my own poems, like "Ode to Equality", and leave some feedback. Thanks!

I can relate. A lot of what I like to do is solitary. I feel so shy and awkward around others.
this was written nicely . I know the feeling. Maybe not the book part as much but seeing my past friends laughing like we use to, def relates to me. All my friends turned on me and i read to get away from my messed up depressing life. its the only way to escape

Yes, this is me, sometimes. Although I am not very alone, sometimes I feel quite isolated from everybody else. I really like this poem and the feeling I get from it. Good job!
Could you please read my poem, "Deceit" and tell me whether it's any good?
