Solitary Confinement

Thoughts running rampant
Memories chasing through,
Dreary and Lonely
Soul standing alone.

Basking in this solitude
Dreaming of the need,
To be a part of the whole
Seclusion is the paid toll.

Despairing concentrations
Never making sense,
Loneliness abides me
Among the world a mess.

Strength draining through
Hope flowing out,
In a crisis that I call for
Redemption is not found.
