Loneliness

Loneliness...

an empty feel...

kept hidden or concealed...

from eyes of the society.

Searching for a place to belong,

with an image of being forlorn,

there's personal struggles, pain,

been stranded, feeling alone.

Living a life of suffocation, 

as if trapped in a dark room,

slowly gnawing through your dreams...

no one there to hear your scream.

We all are affected by its shadow,

irrespective of the age or gender,

but whenever it is manifested,

would leave us feeling isolated.

Circumstances that are unavoidable, 

relationships that are undesirable, 

searching for meanings in connection,

only to be faced with disappointments. 

Even if we are in denial,

it's prevalent everywhere,

be it the poor with life struggles,

working class without work life balance,

in the failures in love, or jobs,

in the disenchantment from lifestyles,

there's always a missing piece...

pushing the perception of its presence. 

So, let's acknowledge this emotion,

find ways to understand its notions, 

reach out to friends or families,

search for professionals in extremes..

Be there for people in need,

it takes time for them to heal,

we are not alone in this feeling,

there's others too who are experiencing. 

It's also dangerous to our health,

so don't ignore or shy away from help,

For, even if we prefer solitary living,

We are still part of a larger community.
