Isolation
isolation is a lonely place
distraught with inner turmoil
attempting to figure out yourself
looking for something to be happy about
trying to remember what love isisolation can be a trap you set yourself
then you turn around and blunder into it
falling into patterns which are nonproductive
call it bad judgement or false steps
someone falling through society’s cracks
isolation can lead one towards depression
fathoming all of ones insecurities
overanalyzing each and every trivial instance
lacking guidance and support even drive
though drive remains which only creates confusion
isolation is a place in the heart and soul
somewhere empty, devoid of personality
a cool damp shadowed recess somewhere
deep rooted in fear and pride hard won
forcing one to question thier own set of ideals
isolation can be conquered by revelation
figure out inside what keeps success backed up
take a long hard look at your inner atlas
decide wether to discard the old maps
or just alter your perception of said
isolation in essence regrettably
Meursault mentions several times that he never really had friends or family. Isolation can have a long-lasting effect on people. It makes me think of kids at school who dont’t have any friends. They’re quiet in class and eat lunch alone. Usually preoccupied with homework or a book, these kids have no life other than their studies and their goldfish. I feel bad for theses kids and try my best to be kind to them…however it’s not always easy.
It’s scary to think about these kids growing up with a grudge…and turning into a violent version of Meursault. If all it takes to prevent that is a smile or a “hello” then hopefully more people will take action…
