Alone in This World- Poem
Alone in this world…. I am scared and sad
I have no where to go, where I am cared for
Alone in this world… I wonder alone
Through the dark and cold streets
I have no home to return to
NO Where do I belong
I long to have someone hold me and keep me safe from harm
I yearn to feel a gentle touch
Reach out and assure me that It’s all right
To be a friend and listen
To not judge or criticize
To not give me advice or cut me down
To not make me feel guilty
To not discourage me But to love me
For who I am and what I am
To accept me for me
And not want me to change
To make me feel better
To wipe away my tears
To look into my swollen eyes
To understand what I’m feeling and to make that feeling go away
To fill the long empty silences
No longer would I have to be alone
I want to fit in
I try so hard… but no matter how hard I try it doesn’t work
I move from place to place and act as I think others want me to act
I want to be a good person
But I need to be loved
I wonder if there is anyone who could ever love me for me
Who wouldn’t want me to change
Who would tell me that I’m a good person and that I deserve to be loved
To save me from drowning in this pool of depression and sorrow
To keep me away from self pity and heartache
I don’t know what’s wrong with me
What makes it so hard for anyone to love me
Do I push them away when I despretly try to cling to them
Or am I that terrifying that they run when they see me appear
Am I that stupid that I don’t know who I am
Or who I am suppose to be
I wish I could be in heaven with the one person I know loves me
He has to… because I pray
And he is suppose to love everyone no matter how filthy they are
Know matter how many people they’ve hurt
And no matter what’s wrong with them
But I know that I was put here for a purpose and that one day
God will use me
And maybe I will be able to help someone
Until then I will pray that someone will love me
Even if only for a minute
That they will really love me

"Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal [but] which the reader recognizes as his own." (Salvatore Quasimodo). There is something about the human spirit that causes us to rejoice in shared experience. We can connect on a deep level with our fellow man when we believe that somehow someone else understands us as they relate their own joys and hardships; and perhaps nowhere better is this relationship expressed than in that of the poet and his reader. For the current assignment I had the privilege (and challenge) of writing an imitation of William Shakespeare’s "Sonnet 87". This poem touched a place in my heart because I have actually given this sonnet to someone before as it then communicated my thoughts and feelings far better than I could. For this reason, Sonnet 87 was an easy choice for this project, although not quite so easy an undertaking as I endeavored to match Shakespeare’s structure and bring out his themes through similar word choice.
Have you ever wondered what you say to the world ? Or how people view you ?
While I prefer kinder wording, it is impossible to become something you want without practice. Due to the “band wagon effect” we are especially susceptible to these things happening especially if we are unware or surrounded by people doing the same, naturally we want to fit in. To avoid doing this in a negative way, it would be a good idea to follow rule 56, in which Washington states that it is better to be alone than in bad company. If you are surrounded by good people good things will happen both physically and
I WONDER if my friends and family know that they mean the world to me, and I don’t know what I would do without them.
Walt Whitman’s poem Time to Come explores Whitman’s curiosity of what happens when people die. Rather than taking a pessimistic approach, his writing is more insightful about the experience. The title alone introduces an aspect of his purpose; to point out that dying is inevitable. With Whitman captures the reader’s attention and shares his curiosity with vivid images, sophisticated diction, and his use of metaphor and personification in Time to Come.
“Life is a balanced system of learning, adjusting, and evolving. Whether pleasure or pain; every situation in your life serves a purpose. It is up to us to recognize what that purpose could be.” - Dr. Steve Maraboli
This poem is about how Julie was able to find light in the darkness. Overall, this poem is a metaphor itself. It compares a symphony to the Nazis, for that everything is well arranged and orchestrated where the conductor is the Nazi character von Linden and the musicians are his associates. However, within this poem there two similes and one metaphor I used. The first simile is in the very first line of the third stanza.
My personality reveals to others that I can be a bit sensitive to other people opinions and ideas.

E.E Cummings’ poem “ i carry your heart with me(i carry it in)” show’s exactly what people truly feel, it’s as if he yanked someones feelings straight from their heart and put them on paper. This poem is the best explanation of true love, that there is. He says, that this woman is his love, he will love her forever, and no matter how far she may be from him, she will still be in his heart. Nothing could ever make his feelings for her fade away. When someone really truly loves someone, nothing could make them stop loving that person. They will always have a special place in each others hearts. Cummings starts out saying in the first stanza that she is in his heart, then in the second stanza it grows into her being his world, nothing means more to him. Now, in the third stanza he tells her that she is his biggest secret, a mystery to everyone else. Lastly, the most meaningful part of the poem, in my opinion is the last stanza, where he simply states. “I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)”(line 14). It seems so simple, but after going deep in explanation about his love, that small statement has a much bigger meaning than it did in the first stanza. In this beautiful poem, "i carry your heart with me(i carry it in", E.E Cummings shows how permanent his undying love is for this woman, and how no one and nothing in the world will ever mean more to him, He uses themes of love, and possibly longing for this woman in this poem, to possibly teach the reader how to love, or to stay loyal no matter how tough of a fight that may be.
For majority of life I’ve gone through the motions and have done as I have been told to do. Naïve and ignorant to how amazing life really is and refusing to question how things work or what my true purpose is other then surviving. For centuries there have been numerous philosophers to question what our purpose is and have developed different theories to help us get as close as we possibly can to finding the meaning of life. One thing I’ve learned since opening my eyes to the reality of the world is that in our lifetime the closest thing we will have is theories and ideas but we will never know the true meaning of life.
Everyone has a purpose and a calling in life, and it is our duty to find what that
