i sat on weathered rocks,
yelling in the dark
spitting into the wind,
tossing sins of shame,
sitting silent in a forest scene,
becoming one with trees
breathing in , breathing out,
rolled in mud, sank in sand,
chanted motionless at the sun,
bled life on typed pages of white,
took a needle or two underskin
decorated in eternal memory,
swam to seclusion
sheltered safely
on my throne of rock,
walking this midnight walk,
the moon at my shoulder
my shadow beneath,
this truth for the moment,
clear in sight,
born alone,die alone,
this is sadly,
but poignantly,
just our own
solo flight

I used to feel that way myself, seems like one hundred years ago, now.

Can relate and think you brought the idea and feeling across quite well in this.

Spitting into the wind gets you wet, becoming one of the tree get you mossy,
sitting silent in the forest makes you subject to predators,
getting tatoo's are ok for you, not me
walking is good but not at midnight, too many creeps out there,
you are not born alone, your mommy was there too, otherwise this was a terrific read.
As always, you are the best!!!!
