Lonely this Xmas

A summary of my xmas. This year. It does involve some difficult topics but i've tried to keep it all a bit upbeat for the younger readers. The last stanza in particular.

                                                                  Lonely This Xmas

It is a week before Christmas, and i've not heard a thing,

From friends or from family , no cards or even a quick ring.

I've never been alone at Christmas you see,

I've always been busy with friends and family.

I'm not sure what i've done wrong, was it something i said?

I am normally so excited, xmas spirit normally goes to my head.

But this year, i've heard nothing, I'm watching the world go by,

People going to parties and get togethers, while i sit and cry.

I've watched Home Alone more times than is healthy,

But i sit here and think maybe Kevin got wealthy.

In spirit i mean, not just in luck,

he met Old man Marley and a friendship struck up.

I feel like Jacob Marley, completely ghosted.

No one has remembered me, no one has noted,

That i'm sat here alone staring at my tree

knowing the presents underneath it are labelled 'to me, from me. '

I don't want to open them in a few days time.

It'll remind me that I bought them for me , they were mine.

But they weren't given and it doesnt seem right 

To open them alone with joy and delight.

What have i done? what have i said? 

I used to let christmas go straight to my head.

I haven't bothered shopping for food or for drink,

I'll never eat all of it and it'll end up down the sink.

I feel so sorry for the people that are alone,

If i could i would invite them all straight to my home.

But alas Cost of Living has ruined many lives 

I can't afford a xmas card, God knows i've tried. 

So its just me and my dog with the TV

dreading the run up to christmas to see,

Did anyone think?, did anyone know

I might watch Buried In The Backyard, and go with the flow.

Endevour, actually, this sounds like my own menu whenever I do watch the media.
It sounds like a good time!
I enjoy being alone.
Think of it this way; Sooner or later they will do something to piss you off.
It sounds like you know how to enjoy your alone time...and a dog! That's great!

Sometimes to share pain creates some more pain from the one who I share about with. People say what they want let people do what they want but you need to just live your life either it is sorrow or happy moments.

Otherwise this world will not take as person itself.

But is this the way where grand parents lived hating or blaming others or scolding others.
Is it that we feel better this is how world is moving now..
I think that is right Ukraine suffering, no country coming to help we will watch is it 3 rd world war. Be friendly with russia because it supplies oil.

I would say what is the reason to live either.

People kill others to get their wish done. People avoid who are simple beings. People massage with words for who are wild.

Now I see no individual is concerned about sincerely for one who is suffering.
Then very soon east becomes west whereas west need to follow east because they are first on rising land.

Living lonely is not life worth to live.
I am sharing my Christmas with food donation for poor who are hungry. That gives joy in my heart with blessings of them that keep my family safe.

Advanced wishes to you remember nobody is with you but all people are not same you will find nice people if you wish with good heart.
