#MayBook Prompt

The Solitude

That felt like a hundred years had gone by

Since she last talked to anyone or spent time

with them.

She had gotten lost in her books and music and

When she looked up, so much time had gone by

That she couldn’t believe her eyes on the person.

In the mirror, looking back at her was the same girl

Since last month, time away has aged her, and not

In an effective way.

All the solitude she had wanted, hadn’t been what

She needed, and it was time to go back to society and, face

The reality she’s hiding from.

      Yes, sometimes it nice to just have a quite moment alone. 🙂

    This sounds like she built walks around herself here.

  3. thoughtsnlifeblog – UK – I believe that the thoughts we create impact our life greatly. If we are able to change our thoughts, redirect them, catch our negative thinking. We can change our life.
