PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Once, a long time ago, I know of this one person whose heart use to ache with each passing day because the person was forced to be alone. And every moment this person lived a silent world. Words were seldom spoken unless it was out of necessity. However, other than that, there was no other person that this person could exchange words with except the four walls around.



But don't even dare think this person didn't try. No. This person tried and tried and tried and TRIED endlessly with all this person's might to break the silence — many things this person has done even by being simply a friend to others unconditionally — and yet…the person remained in the silent world.



With extremely much oppression this person almost gave in.



You see, many people wanted this person for this person's intelligence, talents, gifts, strengths, etc. but…



~Not one single person at all wanted this person for this person's friendship.~  



To be used and thrown away like trash in the end many, many times, gradually, it almost broke this person's mind, heart, and hope.



I used to see this person sometimes as I walk by and for these reasons I took a risk to get to know this person better.  Yet we can all learn a good lesson here:



Keep your friends close and never let go whether if they are from your past or present. Learn to love and accept them for who they are, not what they may be seen to be. And if a lonely face appears in a throng, please don't leave him or her alone because it's better to be with at least somebody out there than it is to be on your own most of one's life. But the thing is that you must be willing to open your heart first and let them inside. Otherwise he or she will never know. So take a chance and take the initiative or miss out making a new friend.  



I learned more about this person.  This person, honestly, was not the fool but in fact it was the people who never dared at all to truly call this person 'friend.' And this person can never be called weak because of the amount of energy this person tried time and time again. In my opinion, this person was NEVER weak. I think this person was honorable to fight back against loneliness.



Anyways, I think it's valuable to keep it in mind. We can all learn from this person because who would want their own friend or a lonesome stranger to fall into a similar way?  We could learn that we wouldn't want others to suffer the same way, right? To have loneliness destroy their spirit.
