This path I've taken

Is a lonely one

Without people passing by,

Isolation is my friend,

Solitude my key

'Tis worth it though, to be alone,

Out in this world so large

All my friends forever live,

In written words

Verses spoken in the past,

Always shall last

This is what I wish,

Upon my self

The author's comments:

I wrote this piece because I feel that writers take a sacrifice to be who they are. We can be made fun of and pushed away. I believe it is all worth it, to have our words written.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
