Nurturing, affirming, comforting—solitude
Quiets fears and calms the troubled spirit.
Distracting thoughts need not intrude.
Being left alone, one need not fear it:
Solitude

Disquieting, ever-encroaching—solitude
Destroys the mind and weakens the spirit.
Obsessive-fearful thoughts it now broods.
Friendship is one way to steer clear it:
Solitude

Are you lonely, with troubles laden?
Compulsively jaded, needless fretting,
Depressed youth, elder, or maiden,
Who could use personality resetting,
Feeling always too much put upon?
Take this friendly tip and join a group,
With some others occasionally troop.
Burdens solved are burned shared
If one connects with those who care.
