Loneliness

Have you ever in your life felt lonely?

Have you ever said to yourself, ‘if only?’
Then with depression think what a ‘big if.’

Then from your mind everything dri�s

Then you feel alone and depressed

And you count all the people in the world you detest.

In your mind, you are building up hate.

Wishing that certain people would meet with their fate.

You know that deep inside that this should not be,

But then you think, ‘why not’ they do it to me.

But then you think how cruel this is
Always take and never give.

You go to sleep and hope to awake.

To find that your thoughts were one big mistake.

Alyson; Aged 13.
