Life Can Be So Darn Lonely
Updated: Aug 9, 2019
Life can be so darn lonely;
As most don't ever understand,
When someone is going thru struggles–
How cruel some are, oh man!
I have had good times,
And I have had bad;
When you are in the muck of life –
And you feel like you've been dealt a rotten hand...
What do you do?
Where do you go?
Most people can make things worse –
And cause way more pain and woe.
Quite confusing it indeed is,
As I thought we are all here –
To genuinely help one another...
Instead of causing more tears.
Opening up to another,
Is hard enough to do...
And then when it is done –
Only a few really are unconditionally true.
True blue friends,
Supportive and kind;
Gems and treasures,
Very very hard to find.
If someone is going thru,
A tough challenging time;
Do them a huge favor –
And walk away if you can't be kind!
No use "being there"
To make things for them worse;
That is not a true friend,
But instead a big curse.
Nurturing, compassion,
Kinds words can go a long way;
Criticism, Judging,
Are not esteemed qualities these days!
In this day and time,
Sensitive caring souls are quite rare;
They are immensely needed –
And being called to " dare"...
Dare to have empathy,
Dare to really feel,
Dare to be present,
For another person to genuinely heal.
Healing takes time,
A very personal process it is;
A real stamina one needs
And not a desire to please!
Pleasing others...
Is what will set one back;
Healing is forward momentum
And one needs to stay on a positive track.
Negativity and judgement,
Giving unrelenting advice is wrong-
From someone that has not walked your path,
is very uncalled for and not strong.
The strength goes to the one
Who can be present in another's pain;
Stand firm as a witness,
And love them as they stain.
Stains of hurts and tears,
And stains of sorrows;
Be present for one
Who is focused on a better tomorrow.
Tomorrows and a future,
Of healing, joy, and glory
Strength is non judgement,
Of another's both untold, and lived story!
Always "Keep the Faith" in your own heart and journey.
