Overgrown

Outwardly I love the outdoors Internally I hold resentment I hate the loneliness Despise the isolation Loathe the alienation From the rest of humanity There is no escape As one is incapable of flight 15 minutes to the nearest business And 15 more to public transport I mutter to myself As I wander this overgrown weed That some refer to as a garden

Nice poem Auden.. It would have finished a lot higher, however, I did state in the contest instructions to include a date, or it would finish lower.. Please remember next time. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..
