The Hermit

always about me certainly no need for we much better alone ample anguish to bemoan no one else here disagrees though rather subtly talk with me regularly nobody to intercede always stick to my own needs resentments usually no one else will win is that really such sin to tilt the wager to being in my favor never need to be chagrined no need concealing this ego needs some healing recluses survive unwanted dead or alive we are no slaves to feelings

I never thought of hermits in this manner NG, perhaps they are their own worse enemy and best friend, full of intrigue as always, cheers David

Know thyself…to thyself be true…my daughter-in-law is quite like this too but I love her for who she is. She is very crafty and a lovely artist. Great introspection.

Hi NG …..nothing wrong with being a hermit if that makes you happy in life and it’s not affecting anyone else in a negative way. There are no hard and fast rules on how we should live our lives …it’s our choice! Really enjoyed this poem. Cheers Debx
