Needing

Maybe you have a place too? Maybe its not too far from mine.

What do I want to do?

It's simple.

I want to run.

Run far.

Find that place.

That place nobody knows.

That place where I am at peace.

That place where no phones ring,

No horns honk,

No people cry,

No questions are asked.

I want to go there,

alone.

Then,

I want to feel that touch on my shoulder,

in my place, where nobody knows I am, 

turn around,

and see your face.

Ahh that conflicting want to both be alone and maybe with a specific person (or people) at the same time. This had very strong feeling, and really spoke to my inner introvert. I know there have been many times when I just want quiet and solitude but I still find myself wishing someone would seek me out in that place. This was well done.

Thank you so much, Green! (BTW my first cat's name was Green!) I'm so glad that you were able to connect to my piece, as your comments clearly spoke to me as well :)

This poem is echoing with my situation right now. I just am not able to connect with my friends like I did before and just wish to run away from all these...people and things. To run away but with someone who'll understand me. As Franz Kafka said in one of his letters, "I’m tired, can’t think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.”
The description of your poem feels like its straight out of a romantic novel..I loved it. Great work Sherry!
