Are You Lonely Or Alone

ARE YOU LONELY OR ALONE

ALONE means no-one to rub your feet
Alone means no-one to wash your back
Alone means you laugh at your own
humor and talk to yourself.
Alone means you check yourself in the
Mirror and come to your own conclusions.
Lonely means you miss the presence of other humans
Lonely means you require another human to fill a void.
Lonely means you are afraid that
"just you" is not enough.

Lonely means the presence of your
Creator is not surrounding you.
Lonely means you do not have the
Wherewithal to change your mood
To bring yourself to a higher mind -
Nor to be responsible for your own happiness.
Lonely means you can't trust your own thoughts -
Lonely means you may do something
stupid if no one stops you.

Lonely means solitude, means time alone.
Time, you have no clue as to what to do with!
With time on your hands- like blood
Lonely means you cannot stand to think of all the
Bad things you've done, or that was done to you.

Means that time is not "on your side"
Lonely means long as you are with yourself
You are unhappy by yourself. "Just You"
As they say ("me myself and I.")
I am Glad I am never lonely...
Just happy being all Alone....
