Isolation

Isolation is a fact of life
I don't know if there is any way you can prepare for it
Yet, it is so easy to cure

Most of the time isolation is self-imposed
Sometimes by shutting people out
Sometimes by inviting people in
And sometimes by hiding alone inside an old barrel

Sometimes it is by losing faith in the very things that keep us going

We lean on each other and seek solace where we think we will find it
But sometimes it is just unavoidable
There is nothing you can do
But embrace the isolation and walk out on your own

Alone
