One in a million

One of the million lonely people…

Instructed never to dare to dream….

Dreamed of a thing called ‘love’.

Instructed to stop!

Follow, Obey and never ask questions….

Trust in their wisdom of years….

Believe their truth….

Forget your heart and soul…

Live embittered for their happiness.

One of the million lonely people….

Still one different as the next

Made up of so many growing ups and downs

So many roller coaster rides and learning curves

Enough to make one a bit different from the other one

But never seen as a bit different from one

Constantly likened to one or another  

Trapped behind the shadow of another

The true self never seen or understood.

One of the million lonely people….

A Wasted life

A Life wasted by a set of beliefs

Not one that one really believes and lives for

But scared by the other millions

Scared of a thing called shame

Raised up higher and higher by misconceptions

And fueled to burning ferocity by hatred

One of the million lonely people….

Waiting for the day

To join the rest of the happy people

And be one with all.
