Solitary anyone?

Sure it pains to be alone, friends, love and laughter are so much better! Try different personalities or enjoy sticking to one and enjoy there reactions, be plain observant or be gregarious, it’s always fun. But their is a beauty to solitude I see it now, and then it eludes me. But it’s always there waiting to be unwrapped. The greatest souls were made in solitary confinement Mandela, Gandhi (oh, there was good in him despite the endless debate) . Introspection, refinement and growth they all require it. Keep yourself sane in all the loneliness, grow from your thoughts and be with them. You could end up a bitter hermit or you could end up a loving soul.. guide it right :)

One of my first poems started with this tiresome battle it goes like this…

VOID


Alone in my sorrow
Alone in my battles
I stand alone
I walk alone

In a crowded street
I stand alone
The vastness around
leaves me cold
A memory to hold
A moment to unfold
Is all I ask
I yearn for the winter sun
The mindless chatter that kept us close

The sky so gray
The leaves falling by
The rain pours down
There is no joy
There is no one

Where do I look for strength when I am low?
What do I hold onto when things go wrong?
My pain is mine
My losses are mine
My sorrow is mine
And it gives me strength
To face the world
To rise above
To breakaway from the common mould
I take this pain
I keep it close
And it gives me strength


At home in my loneliness
At home in my soul
In this void
I find myself
