Lonely is the first day of school
straight back chairs and corner stool
If there was someone to fill a seat
who it may be when nobody sticks around
lonely enough, nobody sticks around but me
emanating from  the unaccompanied heart  
worn on every shirt sleeve from nowhere
a still laugh on a frozen face
in particular when the dress is dull
silence has no colour or chorus
the noise in the hallway
preceeds a childhood lull
lasts to the final day
some company you say
that falls to way side and off
to collective rigors of time schedules
solo moments and fake friendships


He was lonely in an academic world
then furher distressed at work,
he cut off to be lonely
and yet occupied by his crafts
when all that surrounded him
came from places of warm homesteads
hot water, sheet covered beds, electricity
but no, the hard life calls when
one shuts out the comfort of the city
to live far from the crowded circuit
discharged into the wilderness
aligned to nature's tranquil ways
subdued by silence in a
forest of courage and loneliness.
years after that first lonely day at school
what abandonment  willbe 40 years from now
surely more will seek self exile
than the discontent of the urban rule
to listen and follow group cultures
having to like  company tha is not their own.

I believe I've met someone just like this... Lonely in a world of their own choosing. Seems sad to me

Yes it is sad, especially if the person misses a calling, like keeping a  personal relationship where she likes a little more comfort and he wants to rough it all the way.
