&quot;The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you&#039;ll discover will be wonderful. What you&#039;ll discover is yourself.&quot;<br /> - Alan Alda

Lonely

You've left me alone
Forsaken

In the dust of your quest
Abandoned

For better people, better things
Forgotten

Love and friendship you professed
Discarded

For I'm too much, but not enough
Selfish

I feel so alone, though I'm blessed
Paltry

In the shadows of those around me
Hurting

No chance of fixing what's repressed
Rejected

So to nihility, I have acquiesced
