what is lonely?
being an old soul is lonely.
you will be called crazy.
being intelligent is lonely.
you will be called stupid.
being kind is lonely.
people infected with anger will make it a sport to destroy your faith in humanity.
being good is lonely.
it may seem many in this world walk within their own dream, acting out old wounds and scripts.
you become a character in their movie, until you wake up and say, that’s not me.
being awake is lonely.
sometimes you see a spark in someone else.
a stirring in their eyes.
a feeling of knowing.
you approach, your heart wide open.
most run away.
the terrified ones call you crazy or stupid.
and you remember, the world is a lonely place.
as you keep searching for signs of life.
