[ How Does Someone Deal With The Loneliness? ]
[ A Bit Of The Onliness ]
[ Do You Push Aside ]
[ Your Pride ]
[ So Your Emotions Are Not Taken On An Up & Down Ride ]
[ Are You Checked On? ]
[ Maybe Twice ]
[ Does It Feel Wrong ]
[ It Didn’t Feel Nice ]
[ But They All Gathered & Made Themselves A Team ]
[ That Sounds So Special ]
[ Kind Of Like A Dream ]
[ Oh Everybody Came Together In Harmony ]
[ You Almost Expected Some Kind Of Home Made Melody ]
[ They Each Could All Have Their Own Part ]
[ & Express The Happy Feelings That Come From The Heart ]
[ Now They’re Having A Laugh A Minute ]
[ You Just Guess That Your Heart Isn’t In It ]
[ They’re Right, You Could Have Come In There @ Any Time ]
[ You Feel It’s Much More Important To Write Another Rhyme ]
[ Do You Join In Or Stand Back? ]
[ Feeling Wanted Is What This Lacks ]
[ You Just Have Too Thin ]
[ Of Skin ]
[ Where’s The Vodka ]
[ Where’s The Gin? ]
[ Oh, There’s The Tequila ]
[ Let The Drinking Begin! ]

(097)▪︎[ Just An Ordinary Day … 1•29•2021 ]
[ You Are Just Sitting There In The Dark ]
[ With Nothing, But Your Thoughts ]
[ Wondering If Your Life Is In Neutral Or In Park ]
[ You Seem To Be Running Uphill On A Treadmill, Not Getting
Anywhere ]
[ The Main Problem With This, Is That You Have Lost The Desire
To Care ]
[ As You Sit There, You Do Not Hear A Thing ]
[ So You Watch The Phone ]
[ & Hope, That It Would Ring ]
[ Minutes Drag By, Then They Turn Into Hours ]
[ Everytime You Think Things Are Going Well ]
[ It Turns Upside Down & Sours ]
[ Those That You Thought Were Friends Seem To Jump Ship When
The Waters Get Rough ]
[ You Would Always Listen To Their Problems When Their Lives
Got Tough ]
[ But You Never Thought That They Would Turn Their Back ]
[ It Feels Like Whenever You Spoke Up ]
[ Your Face Got Smacked ]
[ You Always Turned The Other Cheek ]
[ But You Never Corrected The Facts, Whenever They Would Speak ]
[ You Never Put Them On The Spot ]
[ Because They Were Wrong Alot ]
[ One Thing That You Have Come To Realize ]
[ In Your 58 Years ]
[ Is That People Come & Go Throughout All Of Our Lives ]
[ Like Two Ships Passing Each Other On A Very Dark Night ]
[ You Are In Their Thoughts ]
[ Until You Are No Longer In Their Sight ]
[ But This All Goes Full Circle As You Sit Here Alone ]
[ The Silence Gives Off Its Own Peculiar Tone ]
[ & It Has Been Shown ]
[ That It Always Sends A Chill Down To Your Bones ]
[ Do You Have To Turn Around & See What You Don’t See ]
[ & Come To Realize This Is How Your Life, Is Going To Be ]
[ You Could Bet After You Slowly Count, From 1 To 3 ]
[ You Could Look Around & It Would Still Be … ]

(1149)▪︎[ Set Adrift … 12•27•2020 ]
[ You Were Once Again ]
[ In A Sailboat Set Adrift ]
[ With No Wind ]
[ Floating Aimlessly In No Particular Direction ]
[ Or No Plan ]
[ Finding That You Need To Make Several Corrections ]
[ If You Want To Be An Upstanding Man ]
[ Who Should You Go To For Advice? ]
[ Having A Supportive Father ]
[ Would Have Been Nice ]
[ But While He Was Alive, He Never Bothered ]
[ Maybe He Thought That You Were A Troubled Soul ]
[ But You Always Thought ]
[ That He Did A Horrible Job Faking Through His Years Playing
The Father Role ]
[ You Learned More From The Father Of A Family Down
The Street On The Corner ]
[ He Taught You About Sports, Law & Order ]
[ But That Was Then ]
[ Being On Your Own Now ]
[ This Is How It’s Been ]
[ You Have To Figure Out The ( HOW? ) ]
[ Now You Feel That Your Best Friend Can See ]
[ How You Can Be ]
[ The Best Of Me ]
[ She Set You On The Path On How To Get The Best &
Be The Best Man In This House ]
[ & Be The Strong Father For Your Son ]
[ & Be The Strong Husband For Your Spouse ]
[ But This Has Been A Long Time Coming ]
[ I Just Never Listened To The Right Drumming ]

(349)▪︎[ On An Island … 4•26•2021 ]
[ Being Alone On An Island Causes Depressing Thoughts ]
[ Looking Up To The Blue Sky ]
[ Makes You See Spots ]
[ But There Should Not Be Any There ]
[ Floating In The Air ]
[ But There They Are, Dancing On The Clouds ]
[ & Then The Silence Of It All ]
[ Can Get So Loud ]
[ So Loud, It Hurts Your Ears ]
[ You Have No Idea How Often This Happens ]
[ But This Has Happened Many Many Times Throughout The Years ]
[ It Is Just A Feeling That You Get ]
[ It Is Also A Feeling That You Would Love To Forget ]
[ It Is The Raw Kind ]
[ That Kicks You From Behind ]
[ Because You’ll Find ]
[ It Is Not A Feeling That Easily Leaves My Mind ]
[ You Just Want To Sleep It Away ]
[ But You Always Know ]
[ It Will Come & Visit Me On Another Day ]

(567)▪︎[ Are They The Same … 6•17•2020 ]
[ Is Loneliness The Worst Feeling You Could Have? ]
[ Is That The One Feeling That Makes You Feel Like You Have
Been Cut In Half? ]
[ It Is Like Being Invited To A Party & You Have No One To Bring ]
[ Or Waiting By The Phone ]
[ & It Never Rings ]
[ Is It That You Know ]
[ That Nobody Will Want To Go? ]
[ It Is A Fact ]
[ That When You Do A Selfless Act ]
[ That There Is No One Around To Pat You On The Back? ]
[ Being Altruistic Is Being Kind ]
[ Without Having A Reward In Mind ]
[ But It Is Nice ]
[ When Some Other Person Sees It With Their Own Eyes ]
[ & Then You Feel Like Doing That Twice ]
[ How Does One Make Loneliness Go Away? ]
[ Even For Just One Day? ]
[ When It Does ]
[ Will It Stay ]
[ That Way ]
[ Does Despair ]
[ & Loneliness ]
[ Come As A Pair? ]
[ Is That What Makes People ]
[ Lose All Of Their Hair? ]
[ What Does Someone That Feels All Alone ]
[ Do About The Silence ]
[ When It All Sounds So Monotone? ]
[ Is That Much Better Than Feeling All Alone In A Crowd ]
[ While Trying To Drown ]
[ Out All Of The Voices That Sound ]
[ So Loud? ]
[ Does The Silence ]
[ Bring On The Violence? ]
[ Loneliness & Feeling Alone Are Two Different Things ]
[ The One Thing They Have In Common Though ]
[ Is That They Both Makes The Heart Sting ]

(355)▪︎[ Who Was That? … 4•28•2021 ]
[ One Day The Lonely Man Came Back To Show
His Deepest Scars ]
[ When He Pulled Up His Undershirt T-Top ]
[ They Looked As Big As Small Cars ]
[ Why Would The Lonely Man Lift Up His Shirt? ]
[ & Show His Hurt? ]
[ It Was NOT For The Itty Bitty ]
[ Pity ]
[ That He Could Get From A Stranger In The City ]
[ It Was So Others Could Learn ]
[ That It Doesn’t Take Spicy Food ]
[ To Cause Someone’s Heart To Burn ]
[ Wounds Are Not Always Made In The Physical Sense ]
[ Just Like Someone’s Dirty Look Can Make You Tense ]
[ A Stab Is Not Always Physical ]
[ Jokes Are Not Always Comical ]
[ If You Are Not Always Mindful ]
[ Jokes Can Quickly Turn Hurtful ]
[ You Can Not Joke About Gender, Race Or Being
Black Or White ]
[ You Can’t Joke About Age Or Weight ]
[ But People Still Joke About Some One’s Height ]
[ Asks The Lonely Man ]
[ You Don’t Try To Go There, There Or There ]
[ But Others Have A Sense Of Entitlement & Think That
They Can ]
[ Sometimes He Takes The Elder Woman’s Cart ]
[ Back Into Walmart ]
[ Not Because He Was Being Asked ]
[ By The Older Lady With The Smile On Her Mask ]
[ He Never Stands Out In The Crowd ]
[ That Is Not What The Lonely Man Is About ]
[ How Will His Wounds Heal? ]
[ How Do His Wounds Feel? ]
[ Everyone One Has Wounds Of Some Sort ]
[ Some People Have Been Successful In Building Their
Own Imaginary Emotional Fort ]
[ ( THAT IS QUITE THE WALL THAT YOU’ve BUILT ) ]
[ Is It As High As Your Mountain Of Guilt? ]
[ How About The Many Pages Of Regrets? ]
[ The Lonely Man Has More, He Bets ]
[ Looking Within @ Your Own Feelings Stings ]
[ Self-Doubt & Insecurity Are The Kings ]
[ Nothing Around The Lonely Man Makes Him Feel
That Bad ]
[ Or That Sad ]
[ Oh Here Is One ( HELLO, DAD! ) ]
[ Sometimes The Lonely Man Could Be Standing On
The Corner Waiting For The Bus ]
[ Sometimes There Is A Little Bit Of The Lonely Man
In Each One Of Us ]
[ The Mike Quietly Drops ]

[ 1023 ][ Set Adrift … 12•6•2021 ]
[ Lost, Floating On The Sea Of Loneliness ]
[ Could I Ever Feel Less ]
[ Of This Emptiness ]
[ How Did I Get Here? ]
[ My Path Back To Fullfillness Has Never Been
All That Clear ]
[ When I Came To A Fork In The Road I Thought
I Turned In The Right Direction ]
[ Using Hindsight ]
[ I Would Make A Correction ]
[ I Thought Going Left Was Good ]
[ Maybe My Brain Misunderstood ]
[ The Bright, Yellow Yield Signs ]
[ Plus, When I Looked @ The Left Side ]
[ There Were No Lines ]
[ Maybe It Was That Way For A Reason ]
[ When I Looked To The Right ]
[ I Did Not Think That I Could Squeeze In ]
[ But Now I Float ]
[ On The Sea ]
[ Without A Single Paddle In My Boat ]
[ I Am @ The Mercy Of The Wind & The Current ]
[ This Problem Seems To Be Recurrent ]
[ Same Problem, But From A Different Issue ]
[ My Inner Strength Is As Strong As A Soft Kleenex
Tissue ]
[ Flimsy & Easy To Rip To Shreads ]
[ Confusing, Like The Brain On Too Many Meds ]
[ Will I Be Forever Damned? ]
[ & Never Get Back To Dry Land? ]
[ Do I Lean Down ]
[ & Paddle With My Hand? ]
[ After Awhile ]
[ I Found That It Was Futile ]
[ Do I Hear The Sound Of A Storm Coming In? ]
[ When I Sense The Rain Begin ]
[ I Tell Myself ( I JUST CAN’t WIN! ) ]
[ Maybe This Will Be The Way My Life Will Go ]
[ Maybe Not ]
[ Probably So ]
[ Is All Of This Effort For Naught? ]
[ I Really Don’t Know ]
