I Need To Be Alone
I have never wanted to be more alone than I would today
How much more of humanity am I to bear?
The overwhelming sensation are beyond words to simply say
To the world... I truly no longer will care
Watching people doing what they do
Neither sympathize nor regard can I empathize
Clocking away hours of time never again to steal
I'm to discover a looming shadow darker than realize
I need to be alone... and not from humanity
I want a perfect isolation from my inextinguishable thoughts
I want to be alone... for the perfected insanity
If not for the real inescapable world am I but forever caught
Do you not tire... living amongst the living?
Are you not exhausted... playing dead amongst the surviving?
A life never retires... until you stop breathing
Hence the mind for the never end to be learning
I am alone now... finally for today
How much more of myself am I to bear?
I listen to myself with nothing more to say
I have the time now to no longer care...
