Am I Really Lonely

Am I Really Lonely

Am I really lonely?

 I have a loving family I go back to and wake up with; a family that stands through the thick and thin.

 

Am I really lonely?

 I have my friends whose conversations are profoundly therapeutic.

 

 Am I really lonely?

 I fall in love with something new in my job, every day.

 

Am I really lonely?

 Even in the most boring days, I have a book or Mother Nature as my best company.

 

 Am I really lonely?

 I eat my desserts without guilt; I run miles to my heart’s content.

 

Am I really lonely?

 I see everything in perfect order; I do not suspect anything amiss.

 

 Am I really lonely?

They all say so – my loved and dear ones.

They saw it in my eyes; I did not seem to nurture myself, they opined!

Nay, they don’t merely hint at my eye bags, they don’t blindly whine about my messy hair or the excessive pounds on the hips!


Am I really lonely?

I did not know very well; I had to find out.


Am I really lonely?

Just maybe, my loved ones are right.


Am I really lonely?

My loved ones saw it in the little and subtle portions of my life-they were concerned.

I chose to delve deeper and look within; I embraced solitude for a while.


Am I really lonely?

I was not in a hurry to unfold the truth.


Am I really lonely?

I am still exploring; I will just trust and surrender.

I count my blessings – my family; 

I am inspired to never run away from the harsh realities; I am motivated to be brave and strong;

I am not afraid to cry or share my agony;

Eventually, I know I will shed my good old skin and move onto a better more beautiful life.
