It is nice to be wanted
Loneliness can be excruciating
And why should we be lonely
Others around us are often
Too busy to say you are mine
Too wrapped up in their own lives
Which may or not be going right
Parents fighting or separated
So many reasons but still the wise
Even though young, will find contentment
Substituting that for a basic need
Which is the feeling of belonging
Where is it found? In dreams you dream
In books where stories of truth are presented
You become part of something good and
The pain and frustration are eased
Transferring – you can offer friendship
Whenever the occasion presents
Giving away what has not been given to you
A paradox in its own way
You are you and attend to your needs
When just by yourself you may feel loneliness
But you have grown and are able
To work your way through, understanding
The situation even though young
You become ready to take new steps
You have accomplished
