Isolation
Hundreds of miles away trying to find a missing piece
In isolation, in contemplation, in desperation
Longing for a genuine human experience
For an opportunity to feel needed and loved
Only in solitude will true silence comes
To hear what the heart screams for day and night
What the spirit craves for every waking hour
What the mind whispers to the universe
The vastness of everything will swallow you whole
Helpless, seeking divine intervention, false salvation
An unhealthy salivation for fulfilment
Awakened to a desperate reality of pain
Listen to your soul in isolation
Isolation in a crowd full of strangers
Isolation in a mind full of strange thoughts
Isolation in a heart full of thoughtless doubts
Aren’t we all together in isolation?
Every interaction is a lost opportunity
Every opportunity is a reason for disdain
Every disdain is a reason for isolation
Isolation, isolation, isolation
Should it be said louder for someone to hear?
Isolation, isolation, isolation
No more, no more isolation…
Isolation leads to personal growth, or at least it does for me. It welcomes introspection and analysis, enables me to peruse through available activities without considering the needs of others, and forces me to find and push my endurance limitations at reading and writing.
I like my family. I don’t need them. I would do fine without them. Is it wrong that I choose to remain married because of want rather than need?
Even within the marriage I need alone time each day to re-energize. If I spend a short amount of time alone it’ll last for the day. If I can figure out a way to gain a day alone I’m energized for a week. If I can spend a week or more alone it becomes a rapid personal growth spurt event. I use my alone time to read and write. I tend toward analysis and turning in on myself in reading and writing. How could I not become stronger and better when left alone? -unfigurable
Hi unfigurable,
Isolation, like everything else in life, is good in moderate amount. It is good because it gives you time to reflect and assess. We all need it, but not all the time.
I think choosing to do something because you want to is a lot stronger than doing it because you need to. A lot of people end up cheating on their spouses because they are in the relationship for the “need”, but they “want” someone else. And wanting creates a healthier environment because you do not become dependent on the other person.
