They say you can be lonely in a crowd

(Probably more so if the noise is loud).

Perhaps the trick is being at ease

With having just yourself to please

 

It's wrongly thought that being alone

Means being lonely on your own.

For some perhaps this may be true

And I sympathise with you.

 

Look inward - take some comfort there

And if you're fortunate to share

With someone else - that's fine by me

But happiness doesn't need company.

 

It's being content inside your shell

That will keep you feeling well.

Loneliness is "self-obsessed",

Break free instead - be self-possessed!
