Summary: This is a very person poem, but i presume many other people have similar feelings. Its main theme is the solitude of the human condition and the need to over come it.




The existence of humanity is one of solitude
But if this is so why do I feel so empty?
You would think that I would be used to it

But even with others the flaw exists
Burning, swelling inside to such a point as I long for contact
A touch of something like myself
Reminding me I am what they say I am
I am a man, I am human, I am alive

But yet I feel like a tortured animal
Always starved of what I crave
Satisfied in the moment
But at its end left unfulfilled
