I am from shadows and silence
A quiet existence of willing compliance
I am from the backdrop
Invisible in a snapshot
All while remaining in plain sight
Even despite my height
I can avoid the light
Why by loud and bright and trite
When you can instead indite,
Let your mind take flight!
Solitude is a constant fight
One that keeps many up at night
Woe is those of such a plight
Searching seeking stumbling in fright
Who truly knows them outright?
Woe is those of such a plight
Searching seeking stumbling in fright
Who truly knows them outright?
I bother not with such concerns
Attention is not what my mind yearns
Eventually it always returns
To a thought that never burns
The thought of being alone
For when I am not well known
I can escape the monotonous drone of the phone
And ponder upon things unknown
To be alone is not a curse
It often is quite the inverse
There are many things much worse
Sometimes, silence can immerse,
And allow us to traverse
Our world around us
I, am from solitude
Attention is not what my mind yearns
Eventually it always returns
To a thought that never burns
The thought of being alone
For when I am not well known
I can escape the monotonous drone of the phone
And ponder upon things unknown
To be alone is not a curse
It often is quite the inverse
There are many things much worse
Sometimes, silence can immerse,
And allow us to traverse
Our world around us
I, am from solitude
