It's necessary-
this my solitude:
weary is the world
in its repetition
monotony, cliches
its clamour and moan
the self-gratification-

no,  I don't ever aim
to change what is
only to retreat
to reconstruct
my inner self
to feel I'm no slave
to inane convention
and sterile tradition-

to be alone
not ever forlorn
only to recapture the essence
of being alive
true to myself
with the intention
to emerge
in transcendence
in truest freedom

not looking back
in this self-created renaissance
