Nothing So Lonely Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Truly, there is nothing so lonely as loneliness.

Stirring within are feelings of depravity, abandonment,
insecurity, rejection - they all comprise loneliness.

Being within, it is difficult to sort through and see
it for what it is.

Intensity of each emotion brings sorrow, sadness - all
the feelings and reasons for being lonely.

Focusing always, seeing and feeling thoughts of loneliness
makes one depressed.

It's a circle - a never-ending one, only way of breaking
and turning it into a horseshoe for good luck, is to look
up.

Seeking out friendship, knowledge, happiness, sharing
with others on different levels.

Everything will still be inside, depravity, abandonment,
insecurity, rejection - they may even remain intense.

Yet, they can be pushed aside for more pleasant experiences
and they won't matter as much anymore, because life has
suddenly become a nicer place.

There is now happiness and joy, in spite of loneliness.
