Isolation....

To some,

their only companion is,

the sun, wind and rain.

With the odd scattered clouds above,

as they gaze forloning

out of their window

during the day.

Watching life and humans

pass by doing their activities

throughout the day ahead.

And at night,

the moon and the stars.

Watch over them as they
try to get a

peaceful

good night sleep.

But with solitude

and silence as yours

the constant reminder of being

isolated it's not nice.

That is their own

timekeeper of life

and living.

Thinking and lots of

time to do it by.

As loneliness

is a constant reminder

of their fate.

As having no one to talk with

and living as one soul.

Is not always wonderful or nice.

The dawn choir of the birds and nature

coming alive. Gives some light relief.

And a little reassurance.

As the day ahead starts to take effect and lights the earth

around us all.

They try to motivate themselves

with eating, chores and doing things around the home

.

And the odd ritual of visits outdoors,

for shopping and paying bills.

But coming home again. Makes them

want to die inside.

It so easy for others to say. Make friends

get out and about?  But for a shy and reserved

soul, it's not always easier a task to break and

actually, do.

I loved this writing..This is actually how a shy and a reserved person feels...I can relate with it very well..You know its very easy for others to say that go out and make friends but its not that easy for an introvert person..Recently , when I finished schooling and I got admission to university , I just had one good friend in the university and there were two boys who had crush on my friend...And surprisingly , these three , those two boys and my friend were very good friends..I was always left out..And in the so called group of friends with whom we used to always hang out , I never had a very good friend , whom I can call anytime for whatever I need or any help..You know there used to be days when I used to eat my breakfast , lunch alone...First I used to cry a lot and I was already away from my home , I used to call mom and cry a lot..You know slowly and slowly I got accustomed to that loneliness..Before , going to university though I was an introvert person but still I had quite a lot of friends who understood how I was , but now that's not the case...I can understand how bad it feels when you are isolated..That loneliness eats you from inside..That affects your mind and soul so much and for others it might be just a small thing but you yourself know how it feels...Great work...
Keep on writing and thanks for sharing..

A frank, emotive reflection on the angst of unbidden solitude, powerful and generative diction which also includes the effective lines, "The dawn choir of nature and the birds coming alive".

Nicely done, and all the best,

Lanny
