A Hermit's Place

The world today is in a hurry,
I can't seem to catch up with it,
My life, I begin to worry,
Whether or not I'll quit.



I'm being left in the backburner,
As I watch my life waste away,
I was suppose to be a great learner,
But all my actions I delay.



I use to get along with everyone,
When they needed encouragement there,
When they needed things to be done,
I did it with utmost care.



I try to help those close to me,
With all my soul and heart,
Only to be disappointed here,
As my own world falls apart.



Sometimes I let myself get walked on,
Not because I can't defend myself or cease,
The person who is flexing their brawn,
I just don't want to disrupt the peace.



I've begun to live in my own mind,
Outsiders look at me weird,
But it's all I can do to unwind,
To keep myself from being jeered.



I don't think people understand,
Because they have their own issues,
But they still try to demand,
A return I unfortunately refuse.

​

At some point I'll return to reality,
When the world slows itself down,
Otherwise I'll still be an abnormality,
Buried six feet underground.
