Loneliness

A day goes by,

Little no-one knows,

Presence here,

Twinkle Toes,

 

Amingst the masses,

Daily business ensues,

This is work,

The work we choose.

 

Yet lacking is joy,

The heart felt beat,

The intangible qualities,

Makes us unique.

 

Standing full of sorrow,

For all to see,

No-one see's the pain,

Understands the agony.

 

Inside it hurts,

A painful blow,

Crawling up from nowhere,

Difficult to sow.

 

Weighing me down,

A heavy kind,

That sinking feeling,

Difficult to define.

 

Draining me all,

Energy & Bliss,

Break from these barriers,

Psychological twist.

 

Look back to where it began,

The lost childhood years,

The darkness,

Many, many tears.

 

Walked have I,

Too long this way,

Being in company,

Difficult, I'd say.

 

Bubble am I,

Wanting to burst,

These chains are heavy,

Forsaking the worst.

 

Freedom I desire,

Totally,

Expressing oneself,

Creatively.

 

What I wish,

Through and through,

To live ones life,

Anew.

 

No mindfullness training,

Needed today,

So in the moment,

Wanting to play.

 

Laughter is key,

Totally,

Lacking in life,

Eternally.

 

Wanting to speak,

Clear the head,

Make these demons,

Totally dead.

 

Walk would I,

With joyful bliss,

Gathering momentum,

Positive kiss.

 

Happy am I,

Live life this way,

No loneliness felt,

Gone, go away.

 

Suddenly the cat,

Claws at my head,

Feed me papa,

Wake up, get out of bed.
