Things wind, rewind,
No one to talk to,
No one to call friend,
Being alone is truly a frightening thing.

No matter what happens, some are forever in solitude.
Due to past experiences,
Betrayal can also play a part.

Forever afraid of being used once again,
A barrier appears from the depths of darkness,
To protect you from what you fear,
Encasing you in a protective sphere.

There are those,
Who feel these emotions,
Of loneliness, sadness, frightened.

One hand reaches out,
The other flinches back.
Through persistence and reassurance,
The latter takes the offered hand.

These are the times that we question,
Are we truly alone?

No, we are not.
These days, it happens every day.
Don’t let them stay that way.
Reach out,
Light a path to guide those in darkness.
You have the power.
The only thing you need to do is reach for it.
