UNDERSTANDING - FEELING LONELY

Will anyone ever love me?
Will anyone ever care?
If I reach out through the darkness,
Will I find anyone there?

Or will I find an emptiness;
Feel nothing but loneliness?
Through the darkest desperation,
Will I just find frustration?

Bittersweet is the solitude,
That folds itself around me.
I'll take comfort in believing,
It's not just me who's lonely.
