GUEST POST // Peak of Loneliness by Purpleanais

After years
of dedication
a hell of a lot
of stress
a smidgen of luck
a bucketful of pure selfishness
and mighty hard work –
money, success
and power
are now yours to hold
you’ve got what you’ve always wanted
pushed everyone away for
you’ve finally found the fucking match
and set the world on fire
it’s blazing
dazzling
flames
as high as mountains
blue-oranges, reds, yellow-gold
not seen since days of old
Alas, you’re watching that intense glow
completely and utterly alone

  3. I can relate a lot to your poem.

    The sheer loneliness and isolation from the world. I struggle lots of times by me stepping out of my home or going to work. I just sometimes want to be left alone. But, the world is so beautiful out there that I must enjoy life by the moment. 🙂

  10. There it is,

    “you’ve got what you’ve always wanted
    pushed everyone away for
    you’ve finally found the fucking match
    and set the world on fire
    it’s blazing
    dazzling
    flames
    as high as mountains
    blue-oranges, reds, yellow-gold
    not seen since days of old
    Alas, you’re watching that intense glow
    completely and utterly alone”
