Faking smiles, forcing laughter,
This crowded world is such a torture,
All the stupid, “Hi!”s and “Hello!”s,
The unmeant, “How are you?”s,
Nobody ever really cares,
Isolation, everybody fears.
So, the cold hugs and dead handshakes
World is so full of fakes.
In places that are the crowdiest,
Are where I feel the loneliest.
It’s so tiring and heart wrenching,
So, strenuous is all the faking.
I just want to run far, far away,
Be completely alone for a day.
All alone, I feel the most alive,
In isolation I want to dive.
Enjoy deep and honest conversations,
With people from my imaginations,
Let my mind soar, far and beyond,
Leave this world’s sly threshold,
Get rid of all the fake socialization,
As I immerse in a beautiful isolation,
Just me, my soul and my thoughts,
Far away from this toxic world.
For, Thursday Poetry Competition! Deadline is Tuesday, so you better hurry up if you want to participate!

Hey you don’t need to convince me saying that. I believe you♥️
Haha… I’m still waiting for a collab with you. Is there anyway I can contact you beyond WordPress comments section?
Not yet…
May be through an email
Okay. Your contact page isn’t working. 😬
I don’t know why🙄
I’m no tech genius too! 🤪🙈🙈
I noticed the same, just today!
🙁
I’ve left a comment on her old post, on how to add a contact form.
That’s so kind of you. I didn’t have to do anything, the blog format I chose automatically provided me one. 🙈
Yeah, both of us have the same theme for our blogs.

O yes!! I too hate the unnecessary hellos and hiis and how are yous. Isolation is better.
Isolation is peace! 🥰
Indeed!
💕💕
Your poem is all about the present situation. So true. We need to find solitude in the midst of enforced isolation with people and neighbours we love and live near, but we just need to have some room to let off steam and be ourselves.
Thank you so much Xavier. Are you getting your needed space during this isolation?
Your poem is true and beautiful 💖
Thanks a million dear! 🙈🙈🤗🤗🤗💕❣️❣️❣️🥰 It’s your topic that inspired this. ❤️
Your welcome!
Really?
Well I’m honoured! ❤️❤️❤️😉
Haha… 🙈🙈🥰🥰🥰💕❣️ I saw isolation on your contest post. Soo… This came up! So it’s all thanks to you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for making me blush the most in my lifetime Shreya 😂😂😂
🤪🤪🙈🥰🥰🥰
I nominated you for The Penable Award! https://theyellowbrickave.wordpress.com/2020/05/11/the-penable-award/
Thank you so much dear!!! I’ll definitely take it forward. However, I’ll be taking some time as I still have many other awards pending. Much love. ❤️❤️❤️
No rush!
🙈🙈😇😇😇

Thank you so much Era!! 💕💕💕
💚💚
True words 💖
Well penned ❣️
Thank you so much aarzu! 💕💕🤗🥰
Pleasure 🤗🤗😘💕
Giving voice to every introvert and isolationist who can’t speak out. Powerful and glaringly real. Well done!
Thank you so much Brad! 🙈🙈🥰🥰💕❤️❣️
This is uniquely wonderful Shreya 😍…I really loved the theme, and these lines…
All the stupid, “Hi!”s and “Hello!”s,
The unmeant, “How are you?”s,
Nobody ever really cares,
I can feel this.
It’s beautiful 💕😊
Thank you so much Anushka!! I really hate faking conversations just to be social. Why are deep honest conversations so rare? 😭😭😭
I too have this questions Shreya…🥺
But, that doesn’t matter…unless I have people like you around me.💓
Haha… 🥰🥰🤗❣️
Haha, please don’t do forced laughter! 😅. It’s soo grating to me, actually appears psychopathic sometimes. Like when somebody is doing forced laughter in a loud, conversation-dominating way, I can all-too-easily picture them laughing like that whilst wielding a knife!! It makes that person seem very dishonest and un-trustworthy.
Equally frustrating is when people actually believe forced laughter! 😆
Of course, a lot of people actually do forced laughter, and that’s the way I feel about all of them lol 🙄.
I’m sure it’s especially obvious to me, as I tend to pick up on these things more easily. So it’s especially painful!
Haha… Thank you so much Robin. I don’t do forced laughter a lot. What I do is nod every few seconds as I lose myself to a different world in my mind. 🤪🤪🙈🙈
Hahaha! I know the feeling 😆
Straight up truth 💣
Thank you so much dear! ❤️
You described the reality in a beautiful way, which has became ironical in this world!!
Loved the poem❤✨
Thanks a lot Chetna. I’m so glad you liked it. 💕💕💕❤️❣️
Will be glad if u can check out my post on the same topic.🤗

Lovely, darling. I can totally relate to this. Solitude is all that I love.❤️ People find it weird that I chose to keep it real and stay in my own lane. But loving your own company is the best feeling ever!
True!!! ❤️❤️❤️❣️💕💕
And hey, there is a typo here – Are where is feel the loneliest. Please correct it. 🙂 I’m sorry to put it here but, no option to connect. 🙁 Delete it once you read it. Love!😘
Thank you so much for pointing out. I’m not going to delete this. ❤️❤️❤️❣️💕💕💕 Much love! 😘😘
Hehehe….. Cartoon!🤗🤗
😝😝😝🥰
Showing off has the power.
Maybe…
Stay Safe.

Those two lines from the second stanza 👍❤️ Glad to see that atleast someone knows how real life works. Nicely written. Are you a professional poet ? For you writing skills are insane!!! (You know just asking)
Thank you so much dear. 💕💕 I’m just a girl who likes to write and wants to have a career in writing. Are you flattering me or you’re just super duper nice? Cause this comment is making me extremely very happy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much dear! 💕💕💕💕
Or maybe I’m being honest and you’re being too modest. Anyways I hope you become the writer you wish. And you should 👍. All the best
Your appreciation makes me blush! 🙈🙈☺️☺️☺️☺️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The world is full of many toxic, fake people indeed. Beautifully written, Shreya!

So true.. So relatable.. We meet so many temporary people in our life.. The people come and go… Very few remain besides our death bed. This poem is worth winning.
All the best
Thanks a million dear! The greatest win for me is always the person who’s reading it. Anyways, what greater prize can a writer ask than a reader’s heart? Loads of love to you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💕❣️❣️❣️ Check out Haroon’s poem on the same topic, he won the contest. 🤗🤗😘😘😘
True.
I will check the post for sure.
You really made my day. I’m feeling so happy right now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so glad that I have brought smile on somebody’s face sitting at one part of the world. You made my day too. And yes you got one more follower 😅☺️
I’d love to have you as a friend instead of a follower. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
I would rather like to be both a friend and a follower. Follower because there is a lot to learn from every fellow .
True!! ❤️
Judging world is toxic in short time is considerable??or you are ahead of your time
Well whatever it is but your thoughts n writing skills are wild crazy 😁😁
