"Solitude's Grip"

by Max Phineas

I always end up sitting alone
Though surrounded by people,
I talk to no one

Solitude grasps me in its horrible shell
I try to break free, but my attempts tend to fail

Maybe it is meant to be this way
Perhaps I am supposed to live life on my own

But somehow I feel as though I’m missing out
On a friendship, a bond, with another person

In time I will see if I ever become
A friend to someone in need of a friend

Or a companion to someone in need of a talk
Or if I will remain all alone in the end

This one hit so close to home. "Solitude grasps me in its horrible shell I try to break free, but my attempts tend to fail" ~ it was as if you were reading my thoughts. At least I know that I am not alone. How ironic is that? Thanks for the read.

Cole, the title to this poem drew me to it right away. Reading it reminded me of bygone days where I was shuttered within myself. ~~ Kyle Anne
