Title: Loneliness

Poem: I am
lonely.
Not sad, not depressed, not bipolar.
No.
I am
lonely.
And this with a family
on the other side of the door;
one husband, one daughter, one son.
All well-intentioned.
Most often kind and loving.
But devoid of understanding
the essence of me.
Hence the loneliness.
The parallel lives lived
inside these four walls.
The separate track
for the others who move on
joyfully
as my life stands motionless
waiting for me to catch on
to get it
to master the game
so I too can participate.
Perhaps then I will no longer feel so
lonely.
