excellent piece of work and creativity at its best in just few meaningful words. The piece reminds us not to create walls that block love for others. in other ways no walls of selfishness or greediness. I highly reccommend your work to others. keep it up.

Hello Mia,
Sometimes, when we've been let down or hurt in life, we build our barriers high to protect ourselves. It can have the knock-on effect of making us lonely... Well expressed.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes, Debra

For consideration - line one only has 4 syllables instead of the required 5 for the contest.

I gave this poem four stars because it is short and to the point and I can relate to the point the author is trying to convey to the reader. I think that the Author could look deeper into herself in using a different choice of words to express the meaning of lonley.

    You are right I could have gone deeper. You inspired me to do so and the piece has changed in unexpected but I think Beautiful ways.

This short poem describes someone I know perfectly. How can one not be lonely if he shuts people out, distrusts almost everyone, and considers almost everything a "slight"?

Unfortunately it seems like we have closed our doors to both friends and strangers just now because of the pandemic, it is so sad, loneliness can be damaging to our health, love Dolly x

Exactly, when we do feel alone we do lock everybody out, and will remain there until we learn to accept, very well written and best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Well, I suppose in a lot cases this true. I also think that sometimes certain people simple either don't know how to connect or have internal issues that holds them back. But, then there are those lonely because they haven't found the right person or people. Loneliness can be complicated.

Thought provoking piece.
