Alone
Until you are alone every day
And every day is just the same
You don’t know what it is to be lonely
You begin to curse god
Even a god you don’t believe in
And wish for a different life
A different mind
Simply something different in your life
But fear runs you and you concede
That you will be here
Lonely and wishing for more
Alone

John, this a poignant illustration of something from which we all suffer. The most gregarious of people are oftentimes some of the most lonely. Writing helps me to combat loneliness. Thank you for your words.

Thanks for your comments Gahddess, I really appreciate them a lot.
I think that it's the people who are really alone who are the loneliest of all. Though your point is well taken. I used to be one of those gregarious ones and I know the truth in what you're saying. Thank you for your words as well.

Thanks for writing Howlings. It's always nice to know that time changes everything in the end. It can't stay the same forever.

John, I feel this poem, I see it daily. I do not mean to sound terrible but I thank God
that I do not experience this on deep levels"You don’t know what it is to be lonely ".
Yet I pray for those that suffer from this, no one should have to.
Still this poem strikes such a chord.
Very well written
