It’s not just the depressed teen
grandmother in the home
dog on a leash 
representative on the phone

everyone feels alone 

from the closed bars 
to the richest man in the world 
from the visitors on mars 
to your new crush as a girl 

no one has a clue 
and fewer still know to ask

some are too proud 
and the rest too ashamed 
to let it crack aloud 
to do something sane

everyone feels alone 

driving that truck across country 
selling that home for a lot of money 
racing that horse as a hobby 
it’s the human condition 

just one thing can cure it 
that love that few get 
and fewer know how to keep it alive 
in their hearts minds and bones

everyone feels alone
