Loneliness

Loneliness,

A void, inside each and every one of us,

That often can’t be filled.

A feeling of despair,

Hopelessness that aches to be healed.

A feeling which can only be soothed,

With isolation and deprivation.

Loneliness,

A feeling which makes you ponder,

Ponder your life, your existence,

And everything you’ve ever done.

A feeling which craves,

The warmth and happiness,

That it cannot receive.

But one day,

The day will come.

In which the suffering of something so small,

Slowly but surely deteriorates,

Fades away.

Ali Reza, E9

Sad Truth

I sit near a fallen tree,

Watching the clear cloudless sky closely, 

The sun smiles very quietly, 

As it raises above lonely, 

“chirp, chirp, chirp”

Birds flying lonely,

As they have no homey.

Suddenly,

I notice, I am not different to the birds, 

Sitting all alone, 

Like the unknown. 

I see a lonely young lady,

Walking along the river,

Staring at a fish like a hunter, 

The fish swims lonely in the long lonely river,

Like she has got no one to swim with her,

The lady sits silently on a soft seat,

Wondering if anyone would join her, 

Hours have passed,

And still, 

She was sitting all alone,

Like the unknown.

Sif, E9

Descriptive Writing

It has beautiful two little legs, little black eyes, tail, and tiny mouth to eat with. It’s something unique because it’s living thing. The front colour is black and the back colour is white. It’s in the backyard, standing on a stone. It eats other animals like fish, reptiles, birds and small mammals. It nests in trees, in holes in the ground and in caves. It doesn’t migrate like other species.
