Loneliness©

Loneliness may want you, but it is not your friend
Don’t fall victim to its desires

Loneliness only brings
sadness
Aloneness
It’s self-defeating
It’s self loathing

It’s sitting at a party in a corner by yourself
It’s spending every night alone with the TV instead of being out and about

Pick yourself up
Give yourself a makeover
If you look the best you can, you feel the best you can
If you feel good about yourself, others will feel good about you
You’ll become a friend magnet
Don’t be overwhelming, that’s an instant turn off
Find your just right button, you’ll be amazed at how it works
Act natural and be yourself, being phony is a true turn off

You may not believe this, but I grew up shy and sometimes lonely
One day I realized it wasn’t any fun and I was missing out on a lot
I woke up the next day with a different attitude, just deciding not to be lonely
I spent every day after with someone, doing something, and having fun
All the while remembering that loneliness is not my friend.
