Lonely vs. Alone

Lonely vs. Alone

Lonely and Alone

Contain few syllables each

But the words have different meanings

Both have lessons to teach

Lonely brings me thought noise

Alone brings mental peace

Lonely brings me isolation

Alone brings me release

Lonely feels involuntary

Alone feels like a choice

Lonely feels embarrassing

Alone makes me rejoice

Lonely can happen in a crowd

Alone is only me

Lonely causes tears of pain

Alone makes tears of glee

The line between the two

seems like it should be clear

but I alternate between them

many times throughout the year

In this epic battle of words

Only time will tell the tale

Lonely has the lead now

But Alone is on the trail
