Soledad

It’s a Spanish word for "loneliness"…

ABOUT THE POEM

Honestly speaking, I never understood the poem maybe because it’s a different type. No words were formed, actually. Whoever that poet is, he must be crazy… JOKE! Well, I think that he/she IS REALLY LONELY. It’s evident through the style he used (and I don’t know what that style is! Sorry!). But the message stays clear… the author was in despair for being lonely.

LONELINESS…

I’m not the type of person who is extrovert. When I was in young, I never wanted to be mixed with everyone else! I don’t crave for attention, just like other people. I just want to be alone, though I’m not really a loner at school. Of course, I’ve got friends. But I prefer to do things on my own.

But as I grow up, I realize that I need to be socially active, at least. I mean, I need people, since they also need me! Haha… We’ll I guess, in this case, there should be an interaction between me and the whole world.

Still, it won’t change the real me… the introvert and shy girl.

But I don’t wanna be lonely. My family cares about me. My friends stay in touch with me. And I’m thankful for that. However, when the time comes that the ones I loved and cherished will be gone, I will really feel lonely… and that’s the last thing I want to happen in my life.

There are also times when I feel desolate.

One time, I was really weighed down by a certain problem. But my friends, whom I trust the most, weren’t there. It’s not their fault that they were not there to comfort me. Though, I feel sick to my guts. I felt that nobody cares about me. That’s stupidity… to be so dependent to them. But if that’s it, then I’m stupid. But I don’t hate them for that. In fact, I’m even grateful because they taught me how to stand on my own, without their help and support.

BACK TO THE POEM

I don’t really know what the author of that poem tries to convey. All I know is that he or she is awfully in solitude.

I hope he’s okay now…

Hey! Wait a second… he’s not lonely!! We aren’t lonely! You know why? Because God is with us!
