Å forstå by Yvonne

Norwegian poem written by me in 2004. Means 'to understand' in English.

To understand

Some obviously have a hard time of understanding.
An understanding of what goes beyond their comprehension.
Either because they don’t want to understand,
or simply because they don’t know how to.

Some don’t understand loneliness.
Many fear the loneliness.
Like the fear of death.
But loneliness is more than just loneliness.

It’s important to be able to be alone.
To find one self alone.
It’s importnant to like the company of one self.
That way one will be able to enjoy other’s better.

People don’t understand that loneliness isn’t always loneliness.
There are different kinds of loneliness.
It’s important to know the difference.
It’s important not to mix them.

There are two ways of being lonely.
The loneliness one choses
and the one where one doesn’t choose.
The gap couldn’t be bigger.

Insufficient knowledge about loneliness creates loneliness,
Because loneliness won’t be lonely untill one actually says it is.
It’s better to be lonely alone,
than lonely with many.
