Loneliness is not just being alone.
It is something you feel deep in your bone.
You feel it even when you’re in a throng.
A sad, strange sense that you do not belong.
It may be traced back to your mother’s womb
when evil forces who wanted your doom,
stirred up rejection in your mother’s heart
causing the two of you to grow apart.
When mother’s emotions are running wild,
they surely do affect her unborn child.
Regret over an unwanted pregnancy
can lead to feelings of despondency.
If as a child you always felt alone,
even when around your own flesh and bone.
Today may be the time to start the quest,
to research the loneliness in your breast.
You may never find, what the reason be,
for the loneliness that resides in thee.
But there’s a cure available for free.
Being a friend to someone is the key.
Whatever the reason or the cause,
let not loneliness lock you in its jaws.
Get out of your room, and bring out the broom,
Sweep loneliness away, then start to bloom.
O lonely soul, forgotten and forlorn.
Come to me, your savior, whose heart was torn.
I, like you, felt rejected and alone,
So, come, I will make you my very own.
