You don't necessarily have to be single in order to feel this way. I want to know how others cope with long bouts of isolation. It's always been a fascination of mine in how humans deal with this phenomena. For some it's a much needed R and R in order to stay focused or keep their sanity. For others it's a curse that feeds on their emotions and social behavior.
**There will be 3 spots for HM this time. This is only my 2nd contest.**
Listed below are a few things that I will be looking for in your entries. I hope it isn't too much to ask -for such a small amount in points for the contest winners.
-----
Is it your choice to be alone or is it circumstances beyond your control?
-----
If you could change something, maybe, in your recent or distant past -would you?
-----
Is there someone you have a secret desire for?
-----
Do you feel like nothing can bring you into someone elses light?
-----
Do you feel like fate or Destiny will bring you together some day -with someone or to someplace.
-----
Pre-writes are welcome and I encourage any poem that stops me to think and re-read. There's something about strength in a word.
