Not The Only One

To all those souls who feel alone and hopeless. You are not alone. So, hold on to your hope.

You’re not the only one

You’re not the only one with a song that needs sung

You’re not the only one coming undone

***

You aren’t alone

But there are times when you can’t just pick up the phone

Times when you just can’t win

You aren’t the only one — no need to defend

***

You aren’t crazy

Can’t get out of bed — isn’t because you’re lazy

Day after day — all seem kind of hazy

You aren’t the only one who feels like life ain’t easy

***

You’re not the only one running scared —

No, but now is your time

You are the one to be feared!

  1. i am a manic man
    panic girl cos i am incomplete and hungry
    shoe s untied and self decried
    denial the cross and repeat
    rinse lather
    and tirades are laced with litanies of yesterdaze
    ha!

  3. Loneliness is a strange parody. There are times when you wish the world leave you alone. Then when you are having problems and worries you can’t find someone to listen to you. I know at times I’ll bury myself in music to keep my mind sane and in working order.
    Before moving to Texas I had a few friends to count on. People I grew up with and friends mad through work or sports. The Navy was long ago and those friends slowly disappeared. Now many years and loneliness seems a part of life. This format gives me a way to vent, comment on others thoughts and just plain complain. TV, video games, online games, puzzles keep the mind busy but not satisfied. Social media these days isn’t the amazing format people thought they invented. It has become a country splitting format that people use to spread hate and lies and my cause horrifying things to come unless we as a people can stop the bad things working in todays society.
    I could go on, but, I’ll save it for rainy day. Oh wait, it is a rainy day!
    But, I shall save ,my “thoughts” for later.

    1. Thank you, my dear friend, Bill. I couldn’t agree more, I am not a fan of social media. Unimpressed, for sure. Love reading your thoughts and comments. Thank you! XOXO, Eleanor
