LONELY

By Rodney Rountree
1977
(Poem #5 from "Poem Time Capsule")

I am lonely.
Why am I lonely?
I did not choose to be, yet it is so.
Why?
I have many a friend, yet no friend have I.
Why is this so?
I am well known, yet a stranger am I.
Why?
I am surrounded by people, yet am I alone.
Why is this so?
I cry out in anguish, yet am not heard.
Why?
Why am I so lonely?
I do not know.
