When times are bad and you have no friends <br />When the hopes of life lead to dead ends <br />When all your surroundings have nothing to give <br />And you can’t imagine life the way you live <br />When on your knees you bend and you kneel <br />How lonely do you feel? <br /> <br />When time goes by and you can’t keep pace <br />When the world laughs at your weary face <br />When all that you thought had belonged to you <br />Turns into trash, your happiness too <br />When life takes the fruit and leaves the peel <br />How lonely do you feel? <br /> <br />When all those things that once were yours <br />Go by like the ticking hours <br />When you’ve got nothing, no one to turn to <br />When all your people have betrayed you <br />When you are left with no joy, no zeal <br />How lonely do you feel? <br /> <br />When life is more of a terror than a test <br />When you get nothing though you try your best <br />When you are numb and you find not a wound healing <br />When you are a bird without any wings <br />When in the game of life you’ve lost the deal <br />How lonely do you feel? <br /> <br />When you find a person in such a state <br />Go up to him, do not wait <br />Let this question go on like a wheel <br />Ask him, “How lonely do you feel? ”<br /><br />Vidushi Khera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-lonely-do-you-feel/
