Mental Health group 1 years, 8 months ago LONELINESS
Ricardo AlbertorioLoneliness, a friend of mine
They keep me company, they take my time
They visit often and stay too long
They whisper dark things, sing sad songs
They drink along and share my glass
Thus wishing that our time won’t pass
Loneliness, the jealous type
They shun the social scene and hype
Prefers to keep me in my room
To make my mind a heavy tomb
Of grey-scale thoughts, of shadowed dreams
And feed me lethargy in reams
If I reach out or you reach in
My friend’s departure will begin
And pull me to the Sun and light
They’re only gone when when you’re in sight
First off, I love the picture of the dog. Secondly, this poem is really powerful and deep. I think the magic of writing is that when you feel alone, your writing, your mind, can keep you company. Thank you for sharing <3 Lauren

Thank you, Lauren. Your response made me cry, because I wrote this at a very difficult time in my life. The picture is of my little buddie, Tango Bleu. He, and writing poetry therapeutically, saved me from my darkest moments. I really appreciate your acknowledgement and response.
