Nominated! This piece is fantastic. The feelings and emotions are great. The word realize for me is key here. Because before you never knew how lonely you could be until you are actually alone. Even though there are billions of people in the world none of them matter to you. I see this piece as the person maybe even being depressed and having social anxiety. I also like how you said "home" because there is a real difference between house and home. The planet is supposed to be our comfortable place where we live and for a lot of people it's not. All we do is just exist. Trying to get through each day as it comes. You are one person but unknown to the rest. Love this piece and the message you say. Well done!

Although this is short, it definitely holds a deep meaning that plenty of people, including myself, can truly connect with. We all call this world 'home' but at times, it doesn't feel that way. A home is somewhere you are supposed to feel comfortable and loved yet you feel isolated. Billions of people surround you but you feel trapped inside yourself, alone and foreign. You exist but do not live.

The message is strong and clear, great job.

5/5.At one point of time we all go through this state and feel a void .Simply said with great depth.

I really liked the line 'I am but an existence' at times this is very true. Well written.

We all are alone.Love your piece.

Loved your poem...

Small poem by Saffie this week, raw, simplistic and to the point= LOVE IT!

The author of this poem as a gift for telling it like it is and how she is feeling at the moment, which is why she is so adored by many on this site, very talented writer and this poem can relate to all readers.

The brink of loneliness and pure exhaustion of feeling alone in the universe, it's a powerful emotion expressed in lovely, simplistic form.

This poem stands out on so many levels, I had to highlight it this week!
