I Am Not a Loner

I am not a loner as they claim, But I have been bent To fit the shape of pain. I have been dressed up To suit the occasion of depression. I have been tamed, To live like an introvert,or a loner. I am really not a loner But I am adopting the style Of living like one. Like I existed in the world all by myself. This is the nourishment That betrayal has brought me. It is the life I have bought With my commitment and kindness. But I am really not a loner.

Ampurire, your poem touched my heart, for those words could be mine, I am a loner and an introvert also, but in that place of aloneness, a poet was born within me. I love people but don't need people (I think you understand that) and have so much to do, there is not enough time in a day, well done, Constance
