Continuously the recluse
She stands alone enveloped in thought-
In the midst of a crowded room
She peers at the swarming clusters
and desiries to be pursued, noticed.
Her protective shield composed,
Her feelings submerged within the abyss,
professing it doesn’t matter
that she exists solitary and forlorn
forever as the outsider~
“We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone.
Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment
that we're not alone."

Tracy, beautiful poem. It describes how I feel sometimes. I know we have to build connections with others--that's what makes us realize that we're not really alone.
we've all felt this way at points in our life.
Never alone ... He is always there with us, for us & loving us.
Have a great week ~
TTFN~

Oh goodness, I hope these are not your feelings?
Sad.
That's all, sad.
This is so beautiful. Is it weird I don't think it is sad? :-) You have such a gift. Have a great week!
BEautifully put. To say more would give away a lot of my own truths.
Thank you

that's how I feel too Tracy, so very often. Much love <3
Awwwww!! Big big hugs from one outsider to another! Take care

Tracy that is so true until we find our faith within...:)JP
Beautiful. Certainly how I've felt for most of my life. Though with age comes acceptance of our Selves, I think. At least to some degree. In my case, I'll never "fit in," as I so wanted to when I was younger, but I'm okay with that now. :-)
I've felt this way at times. I think everyone does at some point in his or her life. Well written, Tracy. Hugs to you.
Wonderful poem. This was me, last Saturday night, at a social event.
Picture and poem are a perfect match. Both require strength and determination to flourish.
Hi Tracy, I wondered where you were... Been on vacation? Getting ready for the new job???
Interesting poem and photo... Being a loner (and not preferring crowds) all of my life, when I am in a crowd, I definitely feel like an outsider.
AND---being shut out of a family event recently (with my 'ex' and my kids/grands) ---I definitely know what being an 'outsider' feels like.. NOT fun!
Hugs,
Betsy
Come inside, we're all waiting for you.
This is sad. True, too, though.
Guess most people have felt this way at one time or another.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Lovely photo
I guess we all feel that way sometimes.

This is haunting it so sad. I have a strong tendency toward isolationism which few people in my real life know exists. I often feel that way in a crowd even when all external signs look the opposite.
Tracy a heart-felt poem. Hugs to you dear one.
i think it's ok to feel like this...i don't want to be one of "them" anyway.
This is beautiful. Indeed we are born alone and we die alone. I think the people we meet in between and make friends with enrich our lives. They do not have to be blood relatives. I have become so close with my blogger friends that sometimes my relatives seem distant because I tend to open up and some do not want to look beyond our community.
Beautiful words and so true, Tracy !
Have a nice evening,
Sylvia
Hmmm. That's sad. Is it really all an illusion that we're not alone? Lots of things to ponder.
Oh how sad; thank God He's never left me nor forsaken me. He's always near and loves me with an everlasting love while underneath are His everlasting arms. I wasn't born alone, don't live alone and won't die alone; bless His name forever!
I think there is a differnce between being alone and lonely don't you think? Your poem is wonderful - so full of emotion!
Wishing you a beautiful weekend Tracy!
xo Catherine
so true....and those who become our friends...those special people....they fill the void...in ways that are a true gift. Wishing you a beautiful day.
Wow! You know me.
Thanks Tracy for your comment on my blog regarding the situation I'm in....I had to post about it just to have my voice....Wishing you a beautiful weekend...You're the best!!!
Tracy, came back by to give you a hug..... ((((Tracy))))
Very nice! I guess we are on a solitary trip through our lives. That is why is so nice to have people and things in it, along the way. Great post!
