loneliness

the slient battle within

Loneliness, a shadow that clings so tight,

Have you ever lost all hope, lost the light?

When every smile feels far, out of reach,

And life seems a lesson you can no longer teach.

Loneliness, a disease that takes its toll,

It whispers doubts, steals peace from your soul.

When every thought screams frustration, longing,

The ache inside, relentless and thronging.

Avoid the path where loneliness lies,

For it drains the joy from your eyes.

Without a hand to hold, a voice by your side,

Loneliness becomes a wave, an unending tide.

It leaves a void that nothing can fill,

An empty space, a lingering chill.

You may choose to walk alone in the dark,

But the emptiness inside leaves a mark.

So take a step, don’t be torn apart,

Open the door, and let love warm your heart.

Transform your life, let the light flood in,

And watch as loneliness slowly begins to fade.
