Analysis of A Corner To Cry On



It's been a while
Since I last cried
Life was moving too fast.
Had to take a step back
Then the realization was burgeoning.

The corner of a room is welcoming,
It does not judge
Your reasons are not its concern.
It says take all the time you need
For somehow it knows
What all you have been through.

Loneliness is a tumor
It grows silently
And when it’s grown enough
Then comes a time to end it all.
You either do it or you don't.

About this poem

You know when you cry and you want it to remain private the wall does that for you. I recently cried in the corner of a room and it did not judge me for it. So write about my experience about that.
