Mobile Ramblings Solitude... Poem by Kandayia Ali

Mobile Ramblings Solitude...



I've always wanted 2 have a chair that sat by a large window
alone off in the distance- a part of the house less traveled and
often times abandoned. I could see myself- sitting there during
the storms- day or nite- captivated by thoughts versus the sound
of the rain hitting the windowsill. I've imagined sitting there 2
write, sketch and paint some of my best work- while lost in a
realm of artistic bliss. No one 2 share my feelings with verbally only
speaking thru my voice of creativity- my only outlet.

Isolated from the normal configurations of society- a black sheep
with the social skills of a celebrity left 2 stand outside and look
in on the cloned individuals of the world. Guess that's why I
want that chair so bad. Maybe I'd sit and watch what society has
done 2 every1 else from a distance wanting 2 be off 2 myself only
2 be visited by people and experience things that
compliment my ideas of the peaceful life I see myself living.
Compared 2 every1 else- I'm in a place where most couldn't
make it, and I do just fine. Most would go crazy- but my sanity isf ully intact. This metaphorical way 2 look at the world and my
place in it makes it easy 4 me 2 come 2 terms with it all. Peace
of mind- one with self- acceptance, serenity- in my moments of
solitude...
