Even when surrounded by friends and loved ones, people can feel lonely. It’s one thing to say it’s all in the mind, it’s another to carry it within your own.

the loneliest place

was in her mind.

away from 

the prying eyes

of those who loved her.

and it was

into

her mind

she wandered her latter days -

depressed into thinking

that loneliness was

her last true friend.

yet it was

all

in her head,

and if

she’d only

walked outside it

once in a while

she would have seen

an entire world

waiting

to embrace her.
