I feel so empty and isolated

Confined to my chambers

I find solitude and sanctuary

Absorbed and glued to my phone

Because I feel at best when alone

Surrounded day and night

Outcast from societies norm

Thankfully few do I actually like

Out there they are all in sight

In the darkness and the light

Not a moments peace can I find

For they constantly surround me

To my face they appear as friends

Behind my back they are rarely kind

Though in work we do will usually bind

Why do I do this to myself

Why do I choose to live this life

So much growth within my sole

Enlightened to body, mind and world

Constantly feeling as though I just hurled

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
