Lonely People

Lonely people you are not alone,

You feel lost and scared a house without a home,

I know how it feels I have been there too,

Feeling lesser than less broken through and through,

Hiding in the shadows of one another’s shade,

Just step aside and see you are a light that will never fade,

Like stars up above shining in the night,

Standing by ourselves fighting with all our might,

Against the whispers that haunt us in our sleep,

Silencing our voice’s leaving us tired and fatigued,

People think we’re weak but we’re stronger than they know,

For even with all our cracks we’re harder than stone,

Each moment a blank page waiting to be rewritten,

Beautiful and unique you are the rhyme within the rhythm,

Our hearts beat to a song only we can hear,

A drum of perfection hidden in every tear,

Each one a drop in life’s endless ocean,

Creating wave’s that crash healing all that’s broken,

Though the lonely may be many, together we stand,

A beautiful chaos that spreads across the land,

Though we rise and fall we’ll still rise once more,

Walking through the fire we open up the door,

On the other side I know the light in you is the light in me,

A yearning of souls waiting to be free,

Freedom is only a flicker from a spark,

Of a shooting star ready to embark,

For we are the dreams inside of our nightmares,

Casting out the demons that lurk there,

Behind the shadows where they like to creep,

When we’re awake and worse when we’re asleep,

But in our silence our strength does grow,

For we are the daughter’s of the ravens and son’s of the crows,

We tread fiercely among both the living and the dead,

Uniting our pain with our unrelenting dread,

For they are apart of us making us stronger than hell,

Together we are unstoppable and so to the loneliness we bid farewell,

For we might be the lonely people yet we have each other’s backs,

So let’s stop being afraid and in each other’s hearts we can finally relax,

Lonely people you are not alone,

For together we are the faces of the unknown!
