Eremitism
The act of gradually fading from the lives of others, not out of malice but a desire for solitude or renewal
it’s not you
it’s not me
it’s not true
you’ll see
i’m not blue
i’m free…
it’s not you
it’s me
and me
i have this yearning
a simple longing
for quieter times
(easy rhymes)
warmer climes
this detritus i cling to
consciously collected
self-infected
by things
i no longer need
baggage
luggage
suitcases
woolies bags
leaving it all
on the carousel
leaving that trail
of cold fire behind me
leaving it now
so nothing can blind me
leaving it now
and all the traces inside me
got no trouble breathing
all done with the seething
got no problem believing
i’m all out of grieving
i’m getting out and about
i’m just gonna roam
find me some peace
and a better place
to call home
