It is so very hard to be alone; from dawn to dusk <br />From dusk to dawn, alone, alone alone. <br />From a chant to a rant to a highpaying job <br />To an apartment in St Germain des Pres <br /> That everybody wants to rob. <br /> <br />It is very hard to be a cog in the wheel <br />It is very hard to be a cog without a wheel <br />To turn, to burn in one's flaming solitude. <br /> <br />From birth to death, this profession of existence <br />Making an art of solitude, an act of independance. <br /> <br />It is so easy to die alone. <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-is-so-hard-to-be-alone/
