Still
Still as a rock that sits a top a mountain.
Still as a palm tree on a breeze-less day
Still
Still until needed
Still I will stay
Still

Quiet
Quiet as beach with no one around
Quiet as the shouts of one in a sea of many
Quiet
Quiet until wanted
Quiet I will stay
Quiet

Alone
Alone as the sole flower in a patch of weeds
Alone as a girl within her own thoughts
Alone
Alone until wanted
Alone I will stay
Alone

Peaceful
Peaceful as the still waters of a bay
Peaceful as the songs of birds on the first of spring
Peaceful
Peaceful until wanted
Peaceful I will stay
Peaceful

No matter how many people are supportive of you, in times of hardship there is no escaping the inescapable loneliness that is inside.

Thanks! I was actually kinda nervous about putting this out there (it's the first peice of personal poetry I've ever posted anywhere), so I'm very glad you liked it! :)
