Loneliness

Loneliness, a feeling all experience, not everlasting though
But some feel it more often than others.
It’s not the intensity of the emotion that matters
But the longevity of it.

They prefer to be alone but not lonely;
Strange isn’t it?
Some wonder the difference between the two
But those who experience it could tell the two apart.

Its puzzling how people feel lonely when in company of others
But not lonely when they are alone.
A part of life and its mysteries
No one could ever understand.

'No one should be let alone to cry'
But there are so many who do so, lifelong,
They want to make others happy
But cannot due to sorrow within themselves.

They are constantly incomplete,
A void in their lives
Always trying to overcome it
But leading to nothingness.

Are they really happy?
We ask ourselves
They seem happy but aren’t
What is it they cover up, wonder we.

Whilst trying to find out who they are
They became a stranger to thy own self
They fade away into darkness,
In the pursuit of happiness.
