Solitude

Just a smile
Or a good natured grin
Is all I need
To make my day splendid.

But I detest company
Want to be left alone.
All my life,
I’ve wanted to grow older
So I can finally be free.

It gladdens my heart
And excites my soul
The long conversations
I have with myself

Moving through the jungle of people
Scanning for a homely face
Like looking in a haystack for a needle
This is not my place

But there’s a day coming
That I will be surrounded by friends and family
But 6 ft deep in the soil
Alone, isolated and separated forever
My eternal dream of solitude

Sometimes, I just wish I am alone in this world.
