Life for some is lonely

with very few that they can call friend.
They can live days of meaningless hours
that also seemingly appear to blend.

 

Some people can feel lonely
even in a crowded room,
some experience anxiety 
and would prefer to leave, none too soon.

 

Loneliness can be found
in both the young and old.
it can be debilitating and
various illnesses, as a result can unfold.

 

Maybe they were abused,
abandoned or have made poor choices.
Maybe they have abused alcohol or drugs
resulting in them hearing inner voices.

 

Some even contemplate suicide,
not so much to die, but to end their pain,
a means to escape their empty lives
and to never experience loneliness again.

 

Some are also homeless,
from a life and a reality, they lose touch.
So, if you offer your hand in friendship,

because it can come to mean so much.

 

We should not judge
or condemn their actions,
We should also do our best
to curb our own reaction.

 

We are all in need of someone,
as none of us are really meant to be alone
and it is not charity to genuinely care,
it is really honourable for compassion to be shown. ©
