The words of a lonely one


The Words of a Lonely One 
 
The words you so often hear
"Be strong, be confident"
They don't mean anything to the lonely ones
 
The only thing that matters are the feeling, not the words 
The words are just noises from the mouth
But the feelings are the reactions of moments that matter
 
It's nice to tell someone to be strong and confident
It's an entirely different meaning to make them feel strong and confident
One that might just save lives
 
So listen to the words of a lonely one 
They might just be telling you 
"Save me"
