The Lonely Heart
Updated: Aug 23, 2021

There’s nothing quite like the pain of a lonely heart
Clutching at life, holding on, looking for a break, waiting for something or someone to extend a hand.
Loneliness dwells in the heart,
It has very little to do with how many people you know and everything to do with being (and feeling) understood
With being (or feeling) valued
With having the ability to connect and feel connected
About finding your place in the world, fitting in.
It’s a dark place, sometimes filled with bitterness and resentment
Leading to increased, self-imposed isolation, building up barriers within your self
Loneliness has nothing to do with being alone and more to do with being unable appreciate your own company
A sense of loss, not knowing yourself
It’s about looking your self in the mirror and not seeing through the pretence
