Loneliness Is a Powerful Thing

Loneliness is a powerful thing...
It always hurts your feelings
When somebody tells you wrongs
About your beliefs...
When someone stabs you verbally
And emotionally scarring you for years.
All those fears, turn into fear of
Being true and strong-willed for yourself...
Other people may never remember your pain,
And pretend it was nothing like they took it in vain.
Loneliness kills you when you see
What others might have and you ask 
"Why can't that be me?"...
Guiltiness of envy causes even more loneliness,
The kind of feeling that tells
What kind of spells negative thoughts put on you...
Forcing you to believe
That what if everyone hates you.
Feeling hurt and corrupted after hearing others...
Saying you're bad to others,
Making you think "They don't understand anything..."
Feeling ignored and bored
When you start to feel left out,
You start to doubt about the friends you have.
(Any kind of) Loneliness is a powerful thing...

Your last any is a very powerful statement and so true. As you say rightly say it makes us make mountains out of molehills. So we withdraw and make it worse. When you start to feel left out, You start to doubt about the friends you have. These lines are very threatening in their truth. To read them and know that sometimes that's I feel. Without real reason most of the time. "negative thoughts" multiply don't they. It all accumulates. I hope you don't feel like this everyday. Karen
