Loneliness
Loneliness is ‘On your own’-ness When there is Just one of you
But it’s not that simple
In a room full of people You can still feel alone
You may be at the party But you’re not a party To what’s going on
So what is it that You’re searching for? Yearning Longing Needing
Something is missing But you don’t know what You just can’t see Can’t explain Can’t understand
And that makes you lonely In your loneliness
