#30in30 2017, Day Three: Cure for Loneliness

What's the cure for loneliness?
That's the question that's plagued me lately
I don't like this feeling helpless
And I know it's not right to be selfish

I poured myself into my passion -
put my best self on paper in the form of words
But though they heal me, they don't hear me
It doesn't satisfy the urge

My desire for some closeness
A companion, a refuge
from the things that drive me crazy
And it seems, I keep on losing

I gave my support to make up for it
Told those around me - don't give up! go for it!
Thought helping others would fill the cracks
But it just further exposes what I lack

And I'm wondering, and I'm wandering
Mind's my enemy, can't stop pondering
Do you see me? Do I matter?
Promise I don't mean to be sadder
Friends are one thing - love's another
Standing alone ain't like standing together
Why can't I find the cure for loneliness?
