On Poem: Lonely

Lonely

Athiyyah Nur Hanifah

Fear, Loss, Negativity

controlling my mind each day

I used to be a bright sunflower

in a sacred forest

but the storm, pain, turn me into a dead tree

There’s a man standing behind

He's the well-known philosopher

The one and only, Friedrich Nietzsche

He said 

“In loneliness, the lonely one eats himself; 

in a crowd, the many eat him. 

Now choose, kid”

“Too late, it's already eating me”

I look at him in the eye

with the sight of sorrow

I asked him a question, 

“Sir, does loneliness exist in every part of the soul?”

He answers “Yes, it does”

He walks toward me 

“And when the happiness removed, the loneliness will take the crown”
