Remember

Most of the pain humans feel can be shared,

with words or actions,

pen to the paper,

fingers to the keyboard,

arms wrapped around one another,

with part of our soul woven in between the lines.

Our hearts open, even if only for a moment.

But there is a certain kind of pain that can’t be shared,

no matter how hard you try,

you can write and write, and type and type,

you can reach out for the comfort of another,

but you can’t share the pain,

you can only understand it.

You feel this pain in your darkest moments,

sometimes even in your greatest.

When it comes it cripples you.

Even if it only last for an instant,

you’ll never forget it.

Because once you’ve felt alone,

Once you’ve been lonely,

you’ll do anything,

anything,

to not feel it again.

You can’t share this pain,

because it only come when there is no one there,

when you can’t reach out.

when you can only ask the silence for help.

You can never share loneliness,

but that doesn’t mean you can’t understand someone else's.

Always remember that.

I realize there might be mistakes concerning capital letters at the beginning of lines, if so just point them out.

You are correct about one thing, lonely is a very singular thing. The closest thing you can get to sharing it is if you record yourself when you're alone and you do not realize that the recorder is on.

I agree with FT, you just touched on wisdom beyond your years and should
be proud of this piece:)Now that you have acknowledged this wisdom and shared
as well, the next step is to follow your own advice when the time presents itself,
and be understanding of someone's loneliness, Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

You appear to have wisdom beyond your years but that doesn't surprise me at all. Intelligence and sensitivity to the world around us can be found at any age. I imagine you have felt loneliness and know all too well the pangs a lonely heart suffers. You write very well and as for mistakes you can always chalk it up to poetic licence :)
