Born into solitude


Beholders, silent as my concealing curtain fell
Broken social agreements as I spoke of hell
Beware, do not let your suffering soul rebel
Better to endure agony inside solitary shell


They often asked; "how do you feel?"
Indecent irony clad in pedestrian politeness
For noone wanted an answer
Their backs turned in shame


A helpless heart conceived to live estranged
My miserable mark from birth engraved
How lonely is this indifferent world's slave
Doomed to carry his burden to the grave

I am loving the unapologetic yet unexaggerated "darkist" realism in many of your poems. This one states almost matter-of-factly without losing dramatic impact. Thanks for sharing.
P.S. I will never ask how you are if I wasn't genuinely listening for a reply, I'm not polite enough to pull that off :-) Cheers! Read you again soon.
