343. Friends

What is life without friends?
Is it the sound of emptiness
You hear when you awaken?
Could it be the darkness
From which light comes naught?
Existence among solitary souls
Results in wasted flesh and blood
Awaken oh foolish one
Shyness is not becoming among the lonely
Serving to benefit no one
Let the smile overtake your face
And extend your hand to others
What is life without friends?
