Confines Of Self

Riding through deserts filled with a lonely emptiness that takes me into a peaceful restless state of mind. Standing back, watching as everyone passes me by, leaving me to myself, while yet finding a place to settle into for a while. Stranded at times within the confines of self, afraid to venture out, reminding me of another place back in child- hood. One where I was so shy and introverted, wanting to scream when others got too close to me, yet staying quiet, not wanting to bring attention to myself. Preferring to be left alone, dwelling in thoughts private- ly held inside, not wanting others to know them.
