    Solitude rids the soul of need
    man unveiled, now truly free
    Peace of mind, Whole of heart
    Life's many masks, all ripped apart

    But solitude breeds a dark disease
    disdain for minds now deemed unclean
    a need to share what one has found
    with those once loved, no longer 'round

    I had to read this twice before it made sense to me. This is about the peace of solitude and the price you pay for it.
    Nice write.

    I dig it and It really speaks to me right now as I seemed surrounded by people at the beginning of last month but a month later I have found many going their own ways and others I have butt heads with and feel like in living in solitude.

    I like it, especially as someone who spent so much time alone growing, not always by choice. Great piece of work.

    @guerilla:

    I was going through a very similar situation when I began writing it. I guess when I was younger, my self-identity was formed by what others thought of me. I felt comfortable only in public and very anxious alone. After going through some self-discovery and really coming to know myself, I saw a complete reversal of that. I was then confronted with the new task of trying to incorporate all that I had learned about myself and the world into my previous social life, pretty unsucesfuly at first.
