Metaphorical Hug

Along the beach, here I walk,

With the waves rolling up the shore.

I look around the sunset-inflicted scene,

Wondering why no is out to enjoy this more.

Am I alive? Perhaps I am dead?

Or am I dreaming? Only one thing

Is for certain. I am alone. No one

To talk to, play with, maybe even sing.

My family, my friends,

They're never going here.

They're never going in my mind,

No matter how much I open up every year.

I am alone. Anyone can care for me,

But no one can know me except for myself.

These turbulous emotions, these locked battles

Are all mine to face, but then again, do I need help?

I look out in the distance,

And I see a figure out there. It's

Too far away, but it sees me clear, and

Opens out its hand, giving me hope in bits.

People are jerks, that I know.

They try their best to bicker and bug

Everyone down. But in my secluded world,

I don't know why, but I enjoy the occasional

Metaphorical hug.
