Lone

Do you know what loneliness true meaning is?
Is it when you have no one by your side?
Is it when everyone leaves you? Betray you?
Is it about the time where people says that they are always be there for you yet when you need them, they are all gone, busy with their own life?
Or...
Is it when you are surrounded by people but you feel you are the only one in the world struggling alone?

In the dark, you try to scream for help, climb out of the well of despair, hoping somebody, anybody will hear your plea and grab your hands, saving you.
But those hopes are crushed, casted away...

Seeing eyes turn blind,
Hearing ears turn deaf,
The smart becomes the dumb,
The rich becomes the poor.

You finally realized there is no help coming, no one to turn to, no one at all.
All this time, you were waiting for your savior to pull you through the darkness.
But no one comes....

Now you understand, this IS life.
Life is like merciless raging waves in the vast ocean, trying to drown you.
No one is going to help you except yourself alone. To be alive you need to swim to keep from drowning.

YOU ARE your own SAVIOR.
YOU ARE you own HERO in your own story of life.
Thus be brave and strong, be proud of your self, trust yourself that you can overcome all of the struggles.
In the end, WE are the AUTHOR of our story. 
Our life is in our own hands to decide, so better start writing. 
Our life story begins now!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Loneliness makes us stronger, it makes us more independent. I had a great read. thanks.
