The chance to just ‘be’
with my thoughts
with my hopes
with my dreams
yes, even my fears
is a need, a must, an ‘I can’t do without’.
Company drains me, if it’s not what fits
as a long-lost jigsaw piece completing the picture of me.
I am a square peg in the round hole of life
unless (and until) I can claim my solitude
until I can meditate on my island
until I can breathe in
until I can breathe out
and feel whole again.
Over on A Dash of Sunny, we are invited to express ourselves on solitude. Do we need it? Do we hate our own company? How do we feel?
I don’t think I beat about the bush on this – how about you?
Freya Writes... 
Whistles!!❤️❤️This is so beautiful, deep and honest, Freya 🙂 I agree, there are times when we feel like enjoying our own company and being alone with our “thoughts, hopes, dreams and even fears” I absolutely love the image of meditating on an island of solitude as we breathe in and out to feel whole again. Sigh.. beautifully executed. Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights and for your constant love and support ❤️❤️
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Being with ourselves is an art in a way.. Definitely overlooked and underrated..but much rejoiced here
Such truth in your words – the appreciation of solitude to help us regroup. Lovely words speaking your reality.
Thank you!
How important it is to be ourselves; individuals that do not ape the foolishnes of others around us. Poets are good at it!
Aren’t we just!
“a need, a must, an ‘I can’t do without’.” We introverts need our time alone to recharge our batteries. I say ‘hear, hear!’
I’m not the only (only) one! Good 🙂
Excellent poem.
I think sometimes being in solitude is the best thing. One has to clear their minds from all the situations that occur everyday. We need to recharge ourselves and after that move ahead.
Yes, recharge, reboot.
Ah, yes. This really spoke to me personally. I share these eloquently expressed feelings and sentiments with you.
Thank you.
