The Lonely

Ah- see them there, the lonely.

See `her sitting there

Among the crowd, with the people 

Yet alone and lonely. 

See him walking 

Along the shadowed path 

With the people on all sides 

Yet alone and lonely.

They walk alone, 

Lonely for companionship,

For a true friend 

Yet they are scared, 

Scared lest anyone 

See their loneliness 

And take pity on me them. 

So they hide their loneliness 

Behind a facade of happiness 

Pretending they are not 

Alone and unhappy. 

Yet they cry, though not aloud

To be noticed!and liked

For the who  they are 

And  not for what they seem to be.

See them there-the lonely; 

See them and notice-the lonely.
