does not define lonely.
I have been lonely
among a group
of so-called friends
and lonely
does not always spend
her waking time within
herself, she knows
the true meaning
of friend and foe
and at times it is better
to be beached and alone
scattered among the high tide
treasures left by the morning
sea for tourists to gather
and carry home.
I enjoyed this poem. It is enough to incite inspiration.
However, we must not forget that being lonely is part of life, and not only restricted to social and/or romantic relationships. We are born with the ability to express it in some form or another during infancy, adolescence and adulthood, and pass it on even at one’s death.
Sincerely,

The last two stanzas are ripping good. It helps me to remember William Carlos Williams 'things not ideas' and that in poetry emotions are arrived at through things.
M, the first three stanza's are just a transmission of your feeling, never write from the heart, about it yes. Avoid this, some of it is almost platitudinous, and the first S cliched, I fell comfortable saying this to you because, you are a very powerful writer. And everyone makes mistakes.
