Understanding my loneliness

In trying to understand my loneliness and trying to come to terms with it, I've discovered several things...I AM lonely and nothing or no one can take it away from me. Being lonely for a quarter of a century, I've realised that it has, in some strange and curious way become one of my greatest strengths and assets. I begin to feel incomplete without it. And now that I've reconciled to this loneliness of mine, I no longer find it frightful or fearsome....on the other hand I try to establish a camarederie between Me and My Self...a Self that will never leave me...never raise a finger at me, never judge my shortcomings, a Self that will hold my hand when I need a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry upon, a Self that will never give me a questioning glance, a Self that will be my greatest confidante.... even in my loneliness I will never be alone.
