I sit alone in a room,
Nothing but silence fills the air
I'm alone with just my thoughts
And get lost in the solitude
Being alone and hearing not a sound
Brings about a new sense of balance
To my crazy mixed up world
I stop to think about the
Past, the future and the here
and now
I reflect on the good times I've had
With family and friends
Along with that comes thoughts
Of some unpleaseant memories too
Questions start to trickle into
My mind about what I want to
Do in the future
Some may say it is
Not good to be alone,
But then you may be able to do
Some soul searching and better
Appreciate the times when you
Are surrounded by a multitude of others
Author notes
I was sitting in a room alone tonight, and this poem just kind of creeped in my head.
Please tell me what you think

Solitude can be good when it is purposeful, when you think or pray during that time to pursue some purpose.
When alone, my mind tends to wonder and I don't enjoy the time. When I enter into purposeful solitude, I do enjoy it. Ironic.
That's what the piece brought to mind. I find I can relate. I am alone much. -
