alone

based on the teaching that: suffering does not arise from loneliness but from fear of loneliness.

I am alone is a fact.
I am lonely is a story.
feeling of lack.
what will the world do to me?
what will the world think of me?
monstrous figure in my dreams,
when I run away from it.
but face it completely,
and a shift happens.
you go beyond,
let the scenery change.

easier said than done, I know, but I wanted to put this out there. if we have something ahead to shoot for, we might be less preocupied with the current life situation.
