An Ode To Loneliness

An Ode To Loneliness By Alona Perlin Why am I so frightened Why am I so scared Because life's unknown journeys Left me Unaware Emptiness inside me For a long time there shall be Till I find my purpose My soul then shall be free I have sought for hours I have sought for years For others to join me And relieve my fears But I found that sometimes Loneliness can be crass We are around others But lonely nevertheless What we need to gather What we need to learn Is that we're there for each other At each and every turn And if you don't find that person That can make you feel you're loved Take heart in the knowledge That you are then enough
