Loneliness wears so many faces
It is the child who hides under the bed playing with his imaginary friends and creating fairy tales and mystical lands in his mind while his parents fighting downstairs
It is the mother who pretends to be in a crowded room and close her eyes so it doesn’t hurt when she sees that no one is there; she’s like an ancient tomb of an unsung forgotten warrior that no one is visiting anymore
It is the man with the big life and dreams, who laughs too loud, and works way too much, because he doesn’t want to go to an empty home
It is the married couple who sleep on the same bed, but the dead silence had wrapped itself upon them like a blanket on a cold winter night
It is the alcoholic you see every Friday night in the pub who thinks a bottle of liquor is his only source of warmth and attention
It is the woman you meet in the same pub with the red lipsticks, a broken smile, and a pair of eyes afraid to meet yours
It is the girl who counts the “likes” on her Facebook and Instagram posts trying to enhance her image and validate her own false reality
There are far too many people on this planet who are lonely, unloved, and uncared for; and each one of them is trying to hide their loneliness differently
