Poem Prompt - You Are Not Alone If

You’re Not Alone If

The tears glisten off the checks, eyes red

I feel so alone except for in my head

This is the worst I have ever felt

The lines on my arms stained red

I walk alone on a sunny lane

The trees wave gently in the breeze

A shadow walks beside me as I explore

The birds sing above me

I sit in my bed deep in thought

Wonderous visions filling my head

Each page turns to another adventure

A million places I visit not moving

I sit at the table surrounded by friends

They ask me how I am

I tell them I’m fine

I am not alone but why do I feel so lonely?
