Loneliness

What is loneliness? Is it the feeling of rejection or neglect? Or is it just a feeling of emptiness inside of us? Will the feeling of loneliness always exist? Could it be a part of the soul that will always be empty? Could it be a sense of feeling empty that only exists within your state of mind? Why do we always feel some kind of loneliness? Could it be that we’re lonely in some ways because we’re always alone in our thoughts? Maybe we’re lonely because our lives begin and end alone. Where do we go when our lives come to an end? Do we stay in our empty, lonely graves for an eternity? Or do we go to our sanctuary or heaven, full of life? Everyone knows loneliness in one way or another. The deafening sound of a voice screaming from within, The fear that when you reach out with trembling fingers, no one will reach back, An aching fear that you think no one else understands. How do we cope with it? Can we fight something we can not see? Should we sit and wait or reach out and seek a cure? Will we always be alone?
