Me Myself and I

Just me, myself and I.
I lock myself in the bathroom to let out a cry,
I look up to the sky
and ask God  why???
As I wait for the tears to dry,
I can’t help but to think that I’m such a sad and lonely guy.
Now I sit in the backyard, spark one up and get high,
I can’t help but wonder if there is another lonely soul nearby?
Maybe I could find them if I could fly… 
I yearn for companionship, that I can’t deny.
This unforgiving grip of loneliness I wish I could defy.
But for now I lay in bed, hands between my thighs,
alone as can be, as the world outside passes me by.

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.
