I Am Destined.

I am destined to live a life of solitude
Because in my mind Prision is within company

I am destined to bear the burden of others
Because in my heart I dread selfishness

I am destined to not feel pain, or happiness
Because in my senses, I have lost sensation

Yes I am destined to be a lonely soul
But I consider this a life of greatness
Not contributing harm, yet seeking appreciation
Not allowing distress on the ones I love
Engulfing the agony as my own
Taking nothing, giving everything
Seeking acceptance yet receiving no affection

Others may read my mind as crazy
But I shall not let them steal my dignity
Because you see,
That is meant for someone else.

This is a gorgeous write. I found more appreciation for it because it remind me a lot of myself, especially the 4th stanza "Yes I am destined to be a lonely soul
But I consider this a life of greatness
Not contributing harm, yet seeking appreciation
Not allowing distress on the ones I love
Engulfing the agony as my own
Taking nothing, giving everything
Seeking acceptance yet receiving no affection" It takes a strong willed person to do such a thing. Exceptional work Brittney

I love the irony of this whole poem! I'll admit I'm not a big fan of paradox, but in this poem you present them really well. A lovely read :)

The thoughts of a selfless person, one in tune with life and understanding that giving is what is most important. Anything else is a bonus!
Powerful and thoughtful. Great poem!

The world would be very boring if it weren't for people like you and I who have crazy minds and ideas. Those ideas are what fuel our world forward. Excellent work!
