Loneliness

Loneliness is no foe to me

It's a feeling i'm well aquainted with

Always there inspiring me.


Born into the world alone

Our own way to find

Digging out an existence.


Some of us climbing to the top

Just to find our friend lonely

Waiting there to scoff.


Funny isn't this human condition

So many corridors and doors we go through

Just to run into you know who.


Fickle fate, fickle friend

Loneliness never fails to entertain

Ever the jester, poking at our most tender spots.


Try to get away from him

Gets you nought

I don't hide anymore.


When loneliness knocks

I invite him in and serve him tea

After all he's best friend to me.
