Description
SolitudeThe sun rises upon a new day, and soon a new year
Yet can you truly see the sun when you’ve been blinded by fear?
When buried within inner darkness, does the sun shed a tear?
Is it raining fire down upon me, who knows, my visions isn’t so clear
Who holds the tether this time, memory clamps down with a clammy grip
Eyes ever turned inwards, I miss the stars slowly fading over the lip
Of the horizon, giving day the proverbial thumb-the-nose-at-ya slip
Am I loosing my grip, giving myself the slip, falling down in a looping trip?
Coherence, Cohesion; When do thought themselves stop making sense?
Outdated Moral fabric, skyrocketing self-standards bogging down wit so dense?
Viewing all from within with a view askew tinting all to gray lens
Blinders blocking common sense; aspiring onward to always set upon the fence.
Can you over ponder events pass tense? Is it possible to over-feel outdated emotion?
Can you stagnate while never standing still? Moving inward in a spiral motion.
Am I truly moving at all? I cannot seem to feel. This is such an interesting notion.
Hmm, is it something that I truly even miss? It all weighs such a ton.
Where is the heart? There seems to be something missing.
Sailing upon the seas of Fate, yet the ship is constantly listing.
Is Fate always a circle? Chasing it’s own tail in cycles twisting.
Turning throughout infinity, heartbeats skipping the feeling.
Over-Rationalization leads to extreme one-dimensional images.
Flat and oh so thin, flat seems to be the only description
Pleasantries exchanged within the mind slowly loosing depth
When even the heart of a rhyming scheme have all but gone and left.
So can you truly see the light when all is shrouded in black?
Ever lost in solitude, well it all just winds up flat.
You know intellectually that the sun exists, and that is just behind your back.
Unable to even feel it’s warmth, blundering ever off the beaten track.
Feed yourself some much needed slack, allow your words some much needed tact
Slow yourself down from pondering the “fact”, Forgiveness is grand when viewed from It’s lacked.
Let it all go.
Drift away slow.
Feel the heart grow
Feed your old, old soul.

So many questions come to mind when reading this. I find I tend to ask too many questions of people lately. I do not mean to pry, I'm just naturally curious and have a soft spot for helping people.
There is such turmoil in this writing and perhaps I only see it there because I'm in a similiar mess. My recent hiatus from DA was brought on by a extreme dose of over-anilization of my own life and certain aspects of my feelings. This lead to many hollow-feeling nights and frantic measures taken to let go of things from my past. The only thing I concluded is that I cannot continue to run from some things. Alas, I ramble far too much! What I meant to say was that I feel you may be running from something as well. Just becareful friend, the more you lock something away, the stronger it will creep back up on you.

I tend to do the same as well. I find myself just trying to gain some perspective on the matters. Having such a similar soft spot for helping people and over active empathy plays such havoc with my heart, as well as distorting my self imagery and general view upon life. I usually shut down emotions, but that just aggrevates the matter to no end. Solitude is not neccessarily a bad thing, but it tends to block off other aspects of yourself that also need attention.
It all goes down to the vulnerability issue.
