"Comfort" By S

PreviousNext

As I sit by my lonesome

My mind wanders—

What if I was really by my lonesome?

With no living being in sight

With no obligations or chatter

With no worries about another

Without a way to communicate

Seems comfortable

I can walk in the empty eerie streets

With only my company

As silence fills the air

Do I need connection or am I all I need?

Wishful thinking it might be

But what a comfortable thought it would be.

O sentimento de solidão necessária, é incrivelmente bem expresso! Não vou mentir que quando escrevo poemas mais sentimentais sempre escrevo sobre a necessidade de reflertirmos sobre nós mesmos. Para mim, o verso que mais me deixou emocionado foi: " Do I need connection or am I all I need? " Expressa exatamente aquela sensação de: Somos tudo que precismaos, ou necessitamos de algo mais? Por não sermos tudo que nós precisamos, nos tornamos incompletos? Gostei muitooo!

Thank you so much for your kind words, yes that line is my favorite in the poem too. I appreciate the read and review :)

okay i really enjoyed how you took a new perspective on the idea of "comfort"! when i opened this piece, i definitely wasn't expecting this kind of definition of it (in a good way ><)


With no worries about another

Without a way to communicate

Seems comfortable


ahh! i immediately smiled here! caught me by surprise.


this is also a very relatable work for me (introverts yayyy) and it was refreshing to see someone who knows this feeling.


Do I need connection or am I all I need?


there has never been a more impactful question, i fear. i ask myself this quite often ^^'

your opening lines:

As I sit by my lonesome

My mind wanders—

What if I was really by my lonesome?


gave quite the mysterious almost ominous vibe (which built up to the "seems comfortable" line beautifully xD)


I can walk in the empty eerie streets

With only my company

As silence fills the air


i don't know why but this sounds so peaceful. you painted the meaning of "comfort" so well.
