No one wants to be alone (although we rarely admit it)
But there's a distinct difference in alone vs. lonely

Alone is when there is space to relax, unwind, and be yourself
Lonely is when there is no one to vent, care, or feel

When you're alone you feel a sense of relief - to break free from the demands of the day
When lonely, you feel only dread and pain - the added weights and sorrows only to follow tomorrow

Alone and lonely; two truths but distinct paths to tread

We've all been at that level at certain points in our lives
