You come into this world alone,
And you go out of this world alone.

There are some moments though,
When you don't feel so alone.

You make some friends in your lifetime,
They'll come and go.

When they're here,
you'll cherish them,
When they leave you,
You'll be heartbroken.

In those moments you'll truly know,
What it's like to be completely alone.

When it's your time to leave this world,
You'll be alone,
But it will not be as lonely as those moments.

Try this!  Another site I rarely visit [long since extinct by 2017], had that weekly challenge and this time it read as follows:

Using the poetic style of your choice, answer the question “Who am I?”, without using the pronoun “I”. Instead, write your “poetic biography” in 3rd person.

Here was my submission....does it make sense?

Yours Truly

(sonnet # CCCCXLVII)


No butterfly, perhaps a moth? just lent
Some precious time to try to fly while night
Reigns, ere the morning dawns.   A reckless wight
E'er chasing carefree; mayhap too, half bent
Unwitting on a troubled course, intent
On fun and happiness whilst grief its plight
Imbues with sob'ring grey, as if t'indict?
Where time's misspent in tracing romance' scent?
"Forgiven" as a blessing daily sought,
Its nameplate hangs for all the world to see.
And if Truth's lessons seeming dearly bought
May mercif'ly be granted taught, 'twill be
A better ending than this vain life's wrought,
If when time's up, it flies, O LORD, to Thee.

Jennifer supposedly means "forgiven" and my la! do I ever need that every stinkin' hour.

You clipped her wings so she would fall,
but she learned to fly without your voice
to soar into the atmosphere.

You were her morning and evening star,
the guiding lighthouse on the shore;
you were her adoration.

You didn't understand that she truly loved you,
how much of her heart she gave to you that you
trampled on and discarded for your own pleasure.

Now she's going to fly
grow
love
be free
while you're still in your chains
of heart games and misleading.

In short, she's always going to
**be better
than you...

Wrote this for a friend I love very much, who got cheated on. If the ex ever reads this, *******. :D

how can such a beautiful person
                                               torment themselves so much?
how can love pour out for others
                                               and hate be given to yourself?
//On love and friendship//
This is for a lot of my friends out there, and on here. I see such amazingness and beauty in your hearts everyday and I see the suffering you go through because of the demons in your past. Know that you are never ever alone and you are so deeply and sincerely loved.

The Devil is no Prince of Hell,
nor is he the Prince of Darkness.
The Devil is the same as you and I.

He shares the same fate
as those who have turned away from God.

He is to be tortured just like the others.
He is to be cast into Hell's lake of fire.

Hell isn't the domain of Satan,
it's his prison.
