Solitude
So gently would the wind caress my writers hand
My only friends are words written on tear soaked pages
They hear my cries, my laughter and all of my untold stories.
In a world that craves attention I melt into the silence
Engulfed by waves of loneliness
Not always do I prefer it this way, but at least I never feel the stab of rejection carving into me.

Thanks Jordyn.
I interpret solitude as a condition that one chooses or seeks out, and which can be beneficial, say to an artist.
Loneliness, on the other hand, is not chosen, and can be harmful.
