Poem 42: Lonely and Alone

26 4 3
                                    

It's not good to be lonely
But it's good to be alone
Time alone is essential
Being lonely is painful

Tears are shed in silence
Exposed by red eyes
Internal cracks grow
Sitting so low

We can be caught in the middle
The center to all catch eyes
Or the isolated and despised
Either way we all cry

As alone as we are
Loneliness is inevitable
A crowd of 5 or 5,000
We are all still incredible
