How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
Being or feeling alone is one of the saddest places to be. You can have all the money in the world but if you don't have anyone to share it with, you have nothing. The need for human companionship is universal. In ancient times, people stuck together because they literally needed each other to survive. In today's world, we tend to spread out and live more isolated lifestyles. In some ways this is a luxury. In other ways we had it better when we lived in close proximity. Humans are creatures of community and need each other for companionship.

Where water is not thirsty
I strongly agree with Maya Angelou. Her poem reflects a timely theme. At any age a person might suffer due to loneliness, but worse in the old age. Then one needs physical as well as...

My smile hides my tears.
My laugh hides my screams.
It's been this way for years.
Things aren't as they seem.
Mike, I've never ever written a reply to anyone here before, but when I read about you, I had to. Don't ever think there's nothing interesting about you. Your story made you who you are...
To be kissed by moonlight
And caressed by stars,
Draped in darkened blue,
Dancing from Jupiter to Mars.
At first, I thought being alone was okay. Day by day, I live well on my own. But one day I got hurt, and at that moment I realized that I'm not okay. I smile, but the reality is I'm hurt on...

I was once sad and lonely,
Having nobody to comfort me,
So I wore a mask that always smiled,
To hide my feelings behind a lie.
I know you don't know me, but I want you to know I care about you and what you are going through. I know how bad bullying can be, and I also know how dear a Gran can be. Mine won't be with us...

Once when I was little,
I was happy and carefree.
I used to run around laughing
Until it was time for tea.
I was bullied at school because I was an ugly kid. Mum and Dad loved me for what I was. I had a failed marriage due to domestic violence and verbal abuse at me. I was locked up for defending...
A lonely star
sits in the sky.
It starts to flicker
and begins to cry.
This is so beautifully written. I love it! I hope all is well by now, and if not, then I'll keep you in my prayers. Remember that God’s son didn't fit in, but he was beautiful and kind, and...

In this life
I once felt hope.
I sometimes still believe in this,
but each moment a little less.
I feel the same way, and I think I understand how you feel. I'm only eleven and have lost my mom to drugs. I went to live with my dad and step-mom. I am not allowed to see my real mother or...
There will be dark days,
when you feel alone
with your aching heart
but that doesn’t mean
I think that is true to every person's life, and what he or she needs is patience that brings a glorious morning after a gloomy night. I had also once gone through such dark days, which later...
I'm the girl who hides behind a smile every day.
I'm the girl who has a tough exterior,
But that's not who I really am.
I'm the girl who has a lot of problems
I am the girl who's feeling so low. I went through so many problems. When I was a kid, I didn’t even know that I had a mom. I grew up with my grandma. I used to sell flowers and work in...
There are people all around me,
Yet I can't help but feel alone.
And although he says he loves me,
He no longer lets it show.
