Let Me Tell You A Story
July 14, 2021
Once there was a girl
Her favorite word was loneliness
A word she hated above all else
The word that fit her best
She knew too well
Sitting on the outside looking in
Sidelines
Outcast
Strange
So alone
A constant ache
A casum deep within
Deeper than the sea
Wider than the desert.
An empty sea
A lifeless desert
A light came in
A light with a name
A friend
The darkness started to fade
The loneliness seeped away
Slowly
Until, with a start
She looked at that desert night
And saw a flower growing
She named it
Hope
And Friendship
