2025-03-2119 minThe Poe ShowPoem: AloneText the showThis is a very important poem to me, and I hope it can be so to you too. Edgar Allan Poe knew better than most just how alone one can truly be, as he was ridiculed and mocked for his storytelling by those who didn't grasp it for the treasure it was. Throughout his life, he knew what it was to be misunderstood, neglected, and betrayed. We can very easily feel alone in this world and like no one knows us, what we're dealing with or how we feel. But YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
