Silence lingers
Over a dark and unlit room.
Little do they know I am here.
If they did, God knows what they would say.
They cannot understand why I stay alone.
Understanding. It's that simple term the
Devil likes to twist and play with.
Everyone leaves. I solitude I stay.

The author's comments:
I am a very introverted person. Many see this as a negative attribute but they don't understand. Solitude is peace, understanding oneself, and, most importantly, finding the truth.
