Loneliness- My Friend

All my life locked in my lonely cocoon;

Lonely in cafes, lonely in bars, lonely at home;

Lonely on sidewalks, lonely with buddies;

Loneliness is now my only close friend.

Had parents who acted as if I don’t exist;

Met women who treated me as the invisible;

Had clients who thought I am dispensable;

Loneliness has been loyal and indulgent to me.

Teachers said I am no good, coaches gave destiny talk;

Some told me not to accept loneliness, I deserve more;

Perhaps that is why I have nobody and nothing;

And those who deserve nothing have found everything.

Met souls who were unhappy being with people;

Seen those who always have a partner riding the pillion;

Talked with peeps who had partners but now happily single;

Learned that you can never get away from loneliness.

Perhaps I am made to be The Lonely Doe;

Born to exemplify the pinnacle of loneliness;

Happiness and sadness are both but transient;

Loneliness is my only constant, omniscient friend.
