Aloneness and Lonliness

There was an island
On the island there was a boy
Stranded
He was happy
Thriving in the aloneness
Around him
His parents weren't there
To boss him around
Make him do chores
He doesn't have to wake up
Early everyday
To go to school
He doesn't have to face
The cruel thing known as
Life
Reality
He was alone
Glad to be alone.

Yet, there was
Emptyness
On the island
It was just the boy
And the trees
And the birds flying above
It was just the boy
And the sand of the beach
The waves crashing on shore
And the boy realized
And cried each night
That he was
Lonely
And afraid.

Each day
He would marvel
At his aloneness.
And each night
He would cry
Until tears ceased to come.
But tears cannot bring the boy
Back to reality
Where his family
And friends are
Where people are
Where true happiness is.
