Here is to all the lonely people

Here is to all the lonely people

Here is to all those lost and lonely
people who have lived trapped in
a world of very deep sadness while
always feeling as if they were all
alone, no matter what they were
doing, where they are, or who may
be around, whose cries for help
every day go unanswered, from their
screams that make no sounds, living
somewhere in their nightmares where
hopes and dreams will not be found,
here is to all the lonely people who
have lived locked away within their
own minds caused by mental illnesses
where diagnosing is sometimes hard
to find. Here is to all the people who
live in agonizing pain, coming from
the scars of a broken heart that will
never be the same, who have lost a
war of finding love in the battles that
rage on. Searching their whole lifetime
just to find that love is just a lie
causing tears to fall to the ground like
raindrops from the skies.
