A Hermit
I do not know how to feel
Crippling contrast
Goes so fast
Time
It escapes me
It liberates me
Who am I now
but a hermit
Earn it
A love for solitude and peace
Release
Leave me here alone now
I don't know how
To explain the things I feel
Is it real?
Always questioning
something festering
I feel confused, yet free
a joy in me
I will follow the call
protecting all
that I find sacred
I cannot shake it
