lone wolves wear solitude around their necks like a medallion, but also a chain, a collar, tying their strength down.

ii.
some hide solitude in their ribcages or build forts, ***** walls. the desperation shines through the cracks.

iii.
many wear the solitude on their shoulders like heavy cloaks, attempting to block out the cold and rain, but only weighing themselves down.

iv.
people have dragged it around like a troublesome child. they want to be rid of it, shove on someone else to deal with, but they grip it tight.

v.
i've seen some spin solitude into a thread so fine you can barely see it, and tie it around their life like a noose. pulling it tight, they use this solitude to stitch their life into a tidy package .
