Away, be gone

[mirabii]

Away, begone
Your persistance
Invading my space
Stopping the flow
I can't THINK with you that close
In the next room
All I hear are the sounds
Flipping pages back and forth
Crowding my mind
You won't stop
So I can't start
I will explode
Please just go to bed
You are not helping
As you steal all the heat we have
And force me to wear bulk
To keep mine in
Confined beyond belief
Who would think
Sharing a house this large
Would be enough to drive me insane
I retreat to my room
Find a clear head
Come back to begin
And once more
YOU
I need to get this done
Can't you see that I want to sleep?
GET OUT GO AWAY
... Aren't you tired?
I would be dead to the world
If I had my way
... Please
Just sleep
I need this space
Silly I know...
Sipping at another coffee
I regain composure
Begin again
Too good to be true...
You stick your head in
Ask with care dripping from your words
... And I SNAP
Away, be gone!
Don't take me at face value
The problem is not you
I am just scared
Scared to not sleep
And to do this tomorrow
Only to break down
Public disaster
I need to walk away with
Pride in tact
A mark to be made
I don't know if I can make it
This time...
... Or the next
Just go
I take fear better on
Solitude

This one was deep and thought provoking. We all find ourselves yearning for solitude from time to time. It can be a healthy thing. Just be careful not to withdraw too far into yourself...I'm certain you contribute to the world in ways you may not even be aware of. I don't know you, nor will I pretend to. I just sense a feeling of torment in your work.
Good work, sweetie,
Caress

Solitude. Hrmm... ever think of living in the woods? I do.
