No One Is An Island? Poem by ivan joseph calingasan

They say no one is an island;
But what if I'm the island.
An island full of sorrow and loneliness.
An island separated from the rest.
Rejected and Forgotten.
Abandoned by ones knew.

An island where I was alone.
An island where waves push me back
whenever I tried to escape.
An island where stars look down on me with pity
in the dark night sky.

An island where I rest every night.
Dreaming of a chase;
A chase for someone I know.
A chase that never ends.
A chase that keeps on going
when I tried to reach it.

I want to end this chase.
Will someone save me from this world;
Or will I remain alone for eternity?
