A Shortcut to Solitude
Dec 23, 2023
Note: This is not about suicide.
I’ll take the speed train to the center of my soul
To escape growing old, weak, and wise
To avoid the loss, the focus of my eyes
And when the youthful energy becomes boring
As it will, I’ll take a pill and escape again
To the maximum security loneliness
Of longing, wanting, waiting
Of not knowing, and failing
Of falling, and calling for you
But all of the mistakes are my own
And the intended virtue
Of avoidance becomes
Finally, my greatest
Vice
