Leave Me Alone

"Love me" doesn't always come dressed in traditional expressions of need.
Everyone is different, which means that some encounters demand more.
Attention is often sought in ways that stagger our imagination.
Voices and cries often go unheard because the needy one is shy.
Empathy and love will often go the extra mile to be sure.

Mental blockages, abuses, and hurts are prone to shut others out.
Effective and old tools like love and affection are never without merit.

Attitudes of indifference will never open doors or even bother to knock.
"Leave me alone" could easily and equally mean, "I'm lonely; please help".
Opportunities are often lost when hurting ones give off misleading signals.
Navigating the treacherous barriers and walls of abused souls is very difficult.
Escaping loneliness can be an elusive affair, both for the lonely and the helper.
