After many years pass, I hope to live
On a secluded island by myself.
I want a house not to big
Because I’ll have no one to share with,
And it’ll remind me of how alone I am.
There will be birds chirping in the trees
And flowers growing in the fields.
They’ll be the only life around
Happy and carefree, and not like me.
I’d want no internet, so when no one
calls out to me I’ll have an excuse.
I would have no glass, mirrors or windows—
If I see my reflection I’d hate myself even more.
No cars, people or animals either—
I couldn’t bear to see life so lively while i’m still.
I want a quiet life that I made myself,
Because then it is my own decision,
And not everyone else around me
forcing me into one.

- Comment from author about the poem: This is basically an exaggerated poem based on how alone and isolated i’ve felt over summer. Lately I just haven’t been doing well at all, and it has come to a point I can’t really openly talk about it with friends or family. I haven’t been talking to anyone and when I do it doesn’t end too well, especially with friends. I just imagine myself in some world alone because atleast i’ve laid the bed myself and family and friends haven’t somewhat pushed me into this state that I’ve been in. The poem feels unfinished, like I have more to say, but I can’t find the words and to be honest, i’m somewhat happy with how it is now. But it is exaggerated and a little strange even for me. Also on another note I do see and read the comments some people leave on other poems i’ve wrote and I love reading them. Sorry for not replying or saying thanks in any way, the reason is i don’t know how and i’m really nervous to. But thanks for the comments left on them I really do appreciate them. They make me feel less alone and silly for my writings 💜

Nicely stated and composed. I do have such a life where I don't see people except about every month when I go to shop and otherwise see only various birds surrounded by mountainside and forest. I do have internet and electricity but water is from a spring. It is not lonely but peaceful. Loved your write but yes you could have more to finish it.
Excellent write
A lovely expressed write of how loneliness can be forced upon people, and how nice if it was a choice to live peacefully, nicely written
