For those who have chosen, <br />To isolate themselves, <br />With a rush to abandon others not like them. <br />And awaken one day, <br />With hopes an empathy they can depend... <br />When a living in isolation, <br />Has not for them proven beneficial. <br /> <br />And today, <br />With realities staring them in the face... <br />They seek an existence less superficial. <br />With those who they now, <br />Feel they most identify. <br /> <br />Well... <br />They will discover when they recover, <br />It is a long walk back... <br />To a town without pity.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
