Alone: Poetry for the Lonely

by M.M. Crusinberry, Raven Foxglove

Alone is a raw and unfiltered collection of poetry that explores isolation, longing, and the quiet ache of feeling unseen. Each poem dives into the weight of loneliness—whether in love, family, or within oneself—capturing the struggle of searching for connection in a world that moves too fast. Themes of abandonment, self-doubt, and the slow unraveling of identity weave through every page, painting a portrait of what it means to be left behind. Alone is for those who have ever felt unheard, unloved, or simply lost in the noise of life.

[Eve L-A Witherington · Rating 5 out of 5]

This poetry collection looked in depth at the feelings and emotions of being and feeling alone, out of place and ultimately feeling you don't fit in and are left watching outside in at others lives continuing on around you.

Feeling you are trying to play a part, a role to try and fit in, even altering yourself to try build connections that eventually fades to be nothing.
How the business of life can drain you to a shadow of yourself, losing touch with your old life and reality of the life you once lived.

Ghosted, was a brutally honest poem about a friend suddenly disappearing from your life which I can relate to happening and it's devastating and leaves you with so many questions, this poem perfectly captured the aching feeling it leaves you with.

The collection had some lovely well written, well thought out rhyming stanza's that made me smile from their relatability and ability to draw emotions so easily feeling like you've been seen and understood by someone else out there that just gets how it feels to be alone or feel you don't fit in.

Do not read if you suffer with depression ect

There are a few poems with sel-unaliving ideals. I had to put the collection down & go outside to sit in the sun. These are very moving & unsettling. Read with caution if you're susceptible to depression.

Have you ever felt like this?

Great poetry book! The poems are sad but heartfelt. Anyone that has ever felt alone can see themselves in these poems. Three of my favorites were: "Stagnant", "No space for me", and "The weight of emptiness". Thank you.

It’s a short book. Nice idea, but it lacks vivid imagery and metaphors.

These were on the heavy side.
