Often Draped In Sorrow Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living in a world of loneliness and sadness, being
draped by sorrow so often in this world, we tend to
look to other people for company.

They aren't there for us, they have their own lives
to live, dealing with problems and circumstances of
their own in this life.

Never give your being or power to another, for they
don't deserve it first of all, secondly, they will
not appreciate it, stomping on your heart.

Turning on you, walking away into the sunset, leaving
you more lonely and bereft than ever before, sorrow
over-taking every fiber and particle of your frail human
essence and being.

Walk alone, find your own inner strength, nurture and
grow it on the plateau of your spiritual life interiorly
and you will live a life of peace and serenity.
