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...

An interesting and thought provoking poem, Joel. I would say that you have put into verse what we all suffer from on occasion: Apathy and discontentment. Nicely penned. My best wishes! :) john
