I can be in a room of fifty
and feel like I'm the only one there
I'll always choose happiness
but there still seeps in some despair
I have a whole lot of love
in my home, life and heart
but occasionally I can't fight the sadness
So I reach out to people and thwart
The feelings that jeopardize the
hard fought for joy inside of me
the loneliness is but temporary
As I'm reminded of all I have come to be
This is not a setback
Maybe a bump in the road
I will persist and persevere
Put my blues in 'reset' mode

The loneliness is but temporary.
I love that. Unfortunately, temporary, can still be a long time.

Christina, you are a boat on the ocean of life. So what happens? You dip into the troughs, then rise atop the waves, only to dip again and to rise again, all the while making progress. So don't worry, after each dip follows a rise!
Thank you so much for your kind advice Fred! I know it was just a bad day. I appreciate it more than you know. Thanks again! Christina
Peaks and valleys life is full of them , just start climbing to the next peak , a very nice poem nonetheless
Thanks Bill, I appreciate your advice and compliment!
We all have 'bumps' in the road of life but those bumps once surmounted become part of life's experience and make us stronger as we move forward in our lives.
Good write with a positive ending Christina.
