I used to be more social but,
it nearly drove me crazy,
as I tried to keep that concealed,
& repeatedly lost so much sleep,
from a constantly ringing phone,
or continual knocking on my door,
wheather it was 4 different people,
wanting an audience,
or 1 person knocking, X 4,
all hours of the day, & night,
reaching a saturation point,
where I just couldn't take anymore,
& voluntarily isolated myself,
with a vow of silence,
up in a tower,
a self-imposed exile,
over tree tops,
where birds fly by,
past a ledgeless window,
where there is no place for them to land.
( inhaling one deep breath,
with a sigh )...
How sweet this quiet peace.
