~Condition Called Loneliness~
Never wanted many friends
I guess I got my wish
About this I don't pretend
In life I found my own niche
Just wanted to play alone
Was made fun of often
Imaginary friends at home
Behind my back...heard talking
I didn't really care much
Though my feelings were hurt
I sat by myself at lunch
They'd tease me and kick dirt
Friends became harder to find
Alone throughout each school
It's not like I didn't try
It's true...kids can be so cruel
At least I went to the Prom
I didn't dance that night
School days that have come and gone
Battles I chose not to fight
I still don't have many friends
And I still get the stares
Just not worth it to pretend
So what, I'm in a wheelchair

It was of you
oh the joys of agony
etched deep into my soul -
barren solitude in
a world full of
beating hearts with
no compassion.

Alone

chalice of awareness, the penalty

living in a small coagulated island
within
by Ray Cook
ALONE
Her form lies printed on the sheet
Her fragrance lingers in the heat
What chance that we again should meet
On distant shores
