Life goes on (without me)
I sit and stare out the window
Watch as they go by,
Running errands
Living their lives

Laughter echoes in
Joy, love and friendship
Jealousy flares sometimes
But I can’t look away

I want to walk out the door
To join the world again
To love and be loved
But my time has long since passed

A stranger to the world I am
An alien to those beyond the glass
The wolf driven from his pack long since
Life goes on (without me)

Hi Darkenwolf, I think when your sat at a computer, it can sometimes feel like the world is carrying on without you, especially when you get carried away in your own little world of writing. Good poem. Is this poem about someone with that disease, where they are afraid to go out? Jenny.

circumstances and in no small measure my own personality have connived to keep me isolated from the world; as one teacher was ever fond of telling me; 'you were born a loner, you'll live as a loner and you'll probably die alone.' i told him we all die alone he thought that was funny. I'm fraid the poem is all me, jenny. Thanks to Pip and Jenny for your comments

Hi darkenwolf, There's nothing wrong with being a loner, sometimes it's good not to be to reliant on other people, because they can let you down. Would'nt you agree? Jenny. P.S. Believe it or not, I am and I am quite happy.

Been a loner all my life and for the most part i've been content with it. But it's easy to be alone when you are alone - its a lot more painful when you're surrounded by people and alone - no matter how hard you try. I get tired of it sometimes. But you're right; the problem with trusting people is that they usually let you down.

Getting lots of Donnie Darko vibes - but for me that's a good thing ;) (love that film!) Good for you for standing up for yourself with your teacher and I really love this poem! Magic xxx
