Not worth the effort

Out of place, out of mind

My connection with others.
Has been tenuous.
My love, given no weight.

I have tried and I cried often,
for the misery of mankind.
My presence during hard times,
does have a positive effect.

After which, I never exist.
Again, after small victory,
I stand alone. Happiness envelops me.

Until again, I am alone,
My heart of stone.
My head brooding,
to hold another in victory.

But I am again alone.
What a lonely place is this!

Unfortunately, this is the reality of many people. Thoughts of another when needing something and like rain, forgotten until needed again.

We extend ourselves and are wanted only when others need something, then we are forgotten. I think sometimes parents feel this way..............very nice piece.

I can fully understand this. Loneliness is a crushing feeling for me. As I've gotten older and wiser, I realize now that when I am by myself, I am alone with a killer.

Good writing, Thank you
