If you ask the question
Who actively loves you
And you can't come up
With a single name
Then you are unloved
Ask yourself about real love
Real love needs to be active
Real love needs to be evident
Where there is no daily proof
Then you are unlovable
If you ask yourself the question
Who is actively caring for you
And you can’t come up
With a solitary single name
Then nobody is caring for you
Caring has to be more than
An occasional phone call
Or a once a month visit
It’s daily and always active
If you can't come up with
A single solitary name
Then nobody cares about you
If you ask yourself the question
Do you have any real friends
Who are with you, good or ill
And you can’t come up with
A single solitary name
Then you are friendless
Nobody in the real world to talk to
To go for coffee and a catch-up
To go to the pub for the same
To go walking in nature
To make you laugh or smile
If you can't come up with a
Single solitary name
Then you are alone
If you ask yourself the question
Is there anyone there to support
You when you are in real need
To give you a real warm hug
If you can't come up with
A single solitary name
You will always be sad
Real support takes time and effort
Never make you feel like a burden
Like an inconvenient job of work
Like a charity case waste of space
What if professionals won't help
If you are being left on your own
To cope alone
Then you are unsupported
If you ask yourself the question
If I am unsupported, always sad,
Always alone, lonely, friendless,
Nobody supporting or caring, not
Being loved, positively unloved
If you are all these things then
A Teddy bear's hug will not suffice
Nor will a warm mug of chicken soup
You are terminally lost
If you ask yourself the question
What will happen after you die
Ask yourself how long it would
Affect anyone you know
And you start counting in days
And weeks some even hours
Then its time you were not here
