No One Is An Island?


They say no one is an island; 
But what if I'm the island. 
An island full of sorrow and loneliness. 
An island seperated from the rest. 
Rejected and Forgotten. 
Abandoned by ones knew. 

An island where I was alone. 
An island where waves push me back 
whenever I tried to escape. 
An island where stars look down on me with pity 
in the dark night sky. 

An island where I rest every night. 
Dreaming of a chase; 
A chase for someone I know. 
A chase that never ends. 
A chase that keeps on going 
 when I tried to reach it. 

I want to end this chase. 
Will someone save me from this world; 
Or will I remain alone for eternity?
