Next stop:Solitude

 

  I walk along the empty roads,

 at peace with myself, sensing my soul.

 I stare at the mountains and the river infront of me,

 each one of us is just a speck in the vastness, my mind agrees.

Crowds and company are just make-beliefs,

the truth is that you are all alone, or so I feel.  

I had sensed this first when I was nine,

even though people surrounded me all the time.

As time passed, people would disperse

in twos or threes,

as per their desires or work.

That strange sense of isolation momentarily dawned on me,

and I knew I was all alone, despite everything.  

Now I walk along the empty streets,

Inner peace is what I seek.

I am tired of being surrounded by crowds,

Of the false sense of security and the misleading people asking my whereabouts.
