The Hermit
always about me
certainly no need for we
much better alone
ample anguish to bemoan
no one else here disagrees
though rather subtly
talk with me regularly
nobody to intercede
always stick to my own needs
resentments usually
no one else will win
is that really such sin
to tilt the wager
to being in my favor
never need to be chagrined
no need concealing
this ego needs some healing
recluses survive
unwanted dead or alive
we are no slaves to feelings
