Loneliness

 

I have always felt a sense of disconnectedness

a part of everything but strangely separate

I feel encased in my being and body

of a different mind with a unique spirit

Kith and kin are supposedly closer than most

but I share so little with them save blood ties

I am alone, I am completely solitary

no one can see or understand as I do

Alienation and isolation are forever present

in the midst of a mighty gathering I remain alone

I view the world from within my own camera

moods affect my relationships with others

I am mostly incompatible with those about me

Those I admire and like stand apart from me

I know that lonliness is my condition

and shared by those I encounter daily

We are individuals, differently made

constructs of something other than ourselves

Those for whom I have some affinity

cannot reach or touch the real me

I remain unkown

There are times when I yearn for the touch 

of genuine love, intellectual parity and a

sharing of desires and passions

These are elusive as we seek of other

things and do so in isolation

It is from birth to death our destiny

to live lives where we are often in conflict

Times when we are in love or sad

Possessed of anger or other emotions

At the end as at the beginning we

remain alone in a vacuum of separateness
