If you are wealthy, you are loved and wanted. But if you are going through financial crisis, you are ignored by your dearones.

How terrible it is to feel unwanted?

I have no money, I’m not wealthy,

My pocket is empty.

Dear ones run away and avoid me,

Nobody wants me.

Isn’t this the time you stand by me?

When I’m broken and lonely.

No hands to help, no hearts to encourage,

Nobody wants me.

I wish you were there beside me,

To hold my hands and give me hope.

Not a word, not a pat,

Nobody wants me.

    very touching poem..
    sometimes I also feel nobody wants me, but the next moment, a bunch of people come to me and I wish I can be alone (just joking to cheer you up).

    its so true, if you have money you get attention, everyone wants to be your friend.. and least if you have no money you know who your REAL friends are…

    interesting you wrote this because I am working on something about wealth myself at this time..

    What u say is very true. We have been through tough situations and we know how many helped us and how many ditched us. We were happy that we were at least able to find out who are our real friends.

    Very true, a touching and poignant piece!

    So true. The rich and famous seem to get all the attention and help.

    This is a inspiring poem. It is a terrible feeling to be lonely and have no one to count on.

  • Jewelstar on Jun 29, 2010

    Thanks Anuradha, giftarist, videomark, Mark Gordon, Idlepen and Johnson for your great comments. Only people who have gone through such bad times can understand the feelings of others.

    We are almost all of us wanted. The task is to figure out who wants and decide whether we can become reconciled to that knowledge.

    Very true, I have experienced it at different points in my life. Not friends alone, even relatives will shoo you away and it is very sad but there’s always someone, somewhere, who will stay with you till the end and He’s just a heart away.

  • Ysrhael on Jun 25, 2011

    For most of people there is at least one person that would stand by and give a shoulder for you to cry on it, the only problem sometimes is to figure out who are the persons who really want you. =/
    Very touching poem. I liked it =)
