In solitude I remain <br />With absolutely nothing to gain <br />Perhaps in time I will be strong <br />You see! Solitude is not my favourite song <br /> <br />A solitary place <br />Is not where I belong <br />Read my lips and trace the lines on my face <br />You see! Solitude is not my favourite song <br /> <br />But social isolation <br />Combined with social manipulation <br />Places me once again in solitude <br />You see! Solitude is not my preferred attitude <br /> <br />This isn’t a journey of spiritual enlightenment <br />As some people might say to my resentment <br />But in great loneliness of this magnitude <br />I must find some self awareness in solitude <br /> <br />I must find strength and pretend <br />That everyone around me is my friend <br />To put this state of scale of elevation to an end <br />I must pretend, I must pretend <br />That even Solitude is my friend<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-solitude-5/
