A Solitary Soul Poem by Ibrar Siddiqi

Alone in my world.
Silence is my religion.
Simple, uncomplicated soul.
Not jealous or begruding
Not wanting popularity.
Fame or clarity.

A soul, unwanted.
Love or success, By God ungranted.
Lacking in confidence, strength or resilience.

A soul, unwanted.
Love or success, By God ungranted.

Solitary, not by choice.
Not popular but by judgements of clowns.

Not a lover, no-one will love me.
Not the class clown, other laughing with me.
Not the player, whose conquests will fondly remember.
Not rmemorable, forced to be solitary.
By element, surrounding and circumstance.
I am that solitary soul.
