Craving Isolation
I crave isolation.
After that first call
I wanted to close my door
and hide under the covers.
Two children
meant more to me
than isolation.
I crave isolation.
After the second call
I wanted to close my door
and hide under the covers.
One daughter and new love
meant more to me
than isolation.
I crave isolation.
No other calls have come
I still want to close my door
and hide under the covers.
People who love me
let me know
I mean more to them
than isolation.
I am learning
to resist the craving
for isolation.

Poignant yet life-affirming at the same time, Christine. I’m glad you are moving in that direction.

This is deep. The world is not willing to let go of us.
Just saw a short movie on Womensday, where the protagonist declares a break from family, and is heading for a month long vacation to Goa. But she returns saying what is a holiday without the family?
