Alone and Confused

Lost in this forest alone and confused,
wandering aimlessly searching my way;
seeking some comfort forever bemused,
darkness surrounds me and causes dismay.

Look to the heavens I can’t see the sky;
wonder right now if it’s day or it’s night.
Trudging along as the shrews pass me by;
have no direction and nothing seems right.

Gone is the gladness that I used to know;
life was so easy, I had not a care.
Missing the playgrounds were we used to go;
wondering why life just seems so unfair.

I will keep searching and looking for love,
though I am so lonely and feeling quite used.
I will keep praying for strength from above;
meanwhile I wander alone and confused.

We all go through periods in life when we feel this way, Panagiota, but the sun will always shine a little brighter tomorrow. Stay strong my dear friend. John

Sometimes, the heart will hold this emotion close. The feeling of being Alone. But, you are never truly alone. Keep smiling my dear friend. :) Love is all around you. ~ Brandy

One should never give up on finding love. Sooner or later we find. Maybe not in the form that we would like, but we do
