An Empty Room Full Of People
Anyone
Who claims to
Take solace in solitude
Is lying profusely
To themselves amoung others.
What possible peace
Can result from the
Unchecked turmoil
Of the lonely mind?
A walk by yourself
When you've someone
To return to
Does not qualify.
A soul untouched by another
Despite best efforts
And most fervent wishes
Is as frequent as it is unfortunate
A malady for which
Remedy has proven sparse
Replacement oft becomes
Unhealthy addiction
And not even
Particularly effective
The worse of the thing is
No lesson is ever learned.
It is simple punishment
Undeserved
Or otherwise.
