WHILST ALONE

Poem Commentary

Everyone i've ever met has been searching for themselves at one time or another, myself included. Some discover, many don't.

WHILST ALONE

Another rainy day
Every drop that falls
Reminds me of tears
I've seen ladies' cry

When i'd left
Looking for me
Though i'd cared
And tried to explain

Words were a waste of time
Something unseen
I had to find
Out there
Inside

Searching everywhere
My paths' direction
The meaning of life
I'd become weary
From being so lost

Running in circles
No sense of mind
Finding what i needed
Gave me inner peace
Whilst alone

I call it wanderlust. It comes to all of us. I use to tell my partner I had wanderlust. Searching for that something that is still so elusive. Sometimes settling into peace is the answer, still sometimes I wonder, what else is out there.

I THINK EVERY ONE OF US NEEDS TIME ALONE TO FIGURE OUT WHO WE ARE, WE ARE NO GOOD TO OTHERS IF WE BECOME FOR THEM...TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE.

I am never alone in my own mind... it is a curse and a blessing, but it's my particular brand of insanity, tears of ladies, what of your tears, what makes you cry
