"As often as a study is cultivated by narrow minds, they will draw from it narrow conclusions."
-- JOHN STUART MILL

Only Solitude
Sitting placidly under
the morning sun
With no one around in sight
No one to talk to as I
dwindle in my loneliness
Here, my contemplation
is high
My boredom is a never ending
cycle
And yet this loneliness
of mine brings a sort of serenity
I feel calm with my solitude
Knowing I am by myself
with no one to bother me
I am free from conversation,
high on thoughts
Free from obligation for a while
Only my solitude comforts
me at this moment
Only my solitude acting as a friend
Who cares if I am sitting
here alone?
No one and I don't give
a damn
Because I am what I am
I am alone, I am no one
Just an eccentric minority
by himself on a bench
Doing nothing with everything
on my mind
And still the world around
me continues to go by
While I linger in this
meditation
Feeling as though I would lose my mind at any moment
Only my solitude is here
by my side
Only my solitude is helping me to cope with myself
