Her silence is so loud.

She mumbled, “Oh! so you have prepared my shroud.”

When You Feel Alone

Loneliness is a growing concern for all of us. Ironically, we are living in the world’s best era where we are blessed with the best network possible to connect with fellow human beings. But still, loneliness grasp thirty-three percent (33%) of the entire world population.

 

 

We are so finicky about our Physical health and, fortunately, we are witnessing so many fitness freaks among us. Physical health is important, but we need to be more outspoken about psychological health too. 

Around 280 million people in the world have depression. Loneliness is one of the leading causes of depression which is gravely fatal.

World Health Organization (WHO) states, “Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.” 

 

 

Loneliness in itself is lethal moreover, it gives birth to so many more issues like low self-worth, fatigue, disrupted sleep, hopelessness, and suicidal tendencies. Loneliness also comes with the good news that it is effectively curable.

Being Alone is a different thing but When You Feel Alone that’s when the trouble crawls in.  Loneliness is inevitable but we should know how to put up with it.

When you feel alone then you yourself become your problem. Lamentably, we know loneliness could be deadly but your perspective towards aloneness can definitely do a change.

 The four-line poem that I have written at the very beginning of this article highlights and sums up your harmful inner state when you feel alone. 

Loneliness is when you feel that no one cares for you, listen to you, converse with you and, love you. There are so many prescribed ways to cope with loneliness and, unequivocally, they are effective.

 

 

Below I have written a piece of a poem on loneliness that explores the inner self of a lonely person but, its ending is full of vim and vigor. 

When you feel alone you are more than welcome to read it. This will surely cheer you up.

 

Don’t Fear, Just Cheer

 

As long as darkness covered the atmosphere 

Exactly, the way how curtain covered the window

I thought you were here

But I was not able to push myself there

Perhaps out of fear

Unaware of the fact that I was in despair 

I was so scared to peep through the curtain

That I thought you might disappear

But as soon as the sun broke out

And when I draw aside the curtain 

I witnessed the land outside was bare

There was nobody except ceaseless air

Then I understood that the thought popped up because of my solitary state of affair

I wiped out my tear

And walked out with hope, happiness, and cheer

Everything is about your perspective. Whatever outlook you carry towards life, it will reciprocate in that direction only. In the above poem, Precisely how the darkness covered the atmosphere and curtain covered the window in the same manner loneliness also covered the person. 

 

 

Loneliness affects you it further affects the environment around you and the deserted environment again affects you. So, it is more like a continuous vicious cycle. If you are alone then everything you think, see and, feel is influenced by your loneliness.

This frightful thought jumped into the mind of the person in the poem because of hopelessness that, in turn, is caused by loneliness. But when the person breaks the chain that is implied by the shining of the sun in the poem. 

When loneliness stops influencing the mind of the person, then the person adopts courage and hope and move towards fighting with it rather than hiding from it.

 

 

That individual comprehends that there was nothing that scary about the loneliness of what he perceives it to be. Then that character walked out with hope, happiness, and cheer, unlike his attitude at the beginning of the poem.

The above poem was didactic in the way that when you stand weak in the face of weakness it pushes you down to your knees but when you stand strong in the face of weakness, slowly and gradually, your weakness gets pushed down to its knees and you come out victorious.
