Sitting alone,
In a crowd,
Not daring to voice
Your feelings out loud.
Tucked into
A bubble of despair,
Wondering if anyone
Will take the time to care.
Is there anyone
Who can truly understand,
What it’s like to be lonely,
And feel like you’re from a foreign land?
The aching feeling of
No one being there,
The pit in your stomach
That you cannot bear.
When your life is so full,
And you desire to share,
A day full of excitement,
But your call log is clear.
The phone doesn’t ring,
There’s quiet in the air;
The silence is so thick,
Your own footsteps you hear.
Feeling so alone,
A sadness so real;
Craving connection,
That will comfort and heal.
You’re never alone!
Even in the depths of despair,
Call out to Hashem –
Your tefillos, He will hear!
Hashem is close –
כי אתה עמדי
Tell yourself when you’re alone:
Hashem is always with me.
Be comforted knowing
That Hashem has your back;
Call out to Him
For all that you lack.
As you connect to Hashem,
Your loneliness will fade away;
Feel Hashem’s embrace,
Right there with you, every day.
