The Burden

The burden
Of lonliness,
A difficult,
Weight to bear.
Has broken,
The wills
Of many.
Who were brave,
Enough to dare.
Carry such 
A freight,
Knowing they
Could not share.
On a journey,
Into their 
Own emptiness,
To find out
If anything's
Even there.
The years 
Shall pass
And you'll,
Want to break,
But you've,
Grow stronger
After each
Passing day.
And with this,
Stength aquired.
Understanding why,
The burden,
Was required.
To finally
Knowing,
How to be,
Alone, 
Alone,
Alone.
