It Is So Hard To Be Alone Poem by Rani Turton
It Is So Hard To Be Alone
It is so very hard to be alone; from dawn to dusk
From dusk to dawn, alone, alone alone.
From a chant to a rant to a highpaying job
To an apartment in St Germain des Pres
That everybody wants to rob.
It is very hard to be a cog in the wheel
It is very hard to be a cog without a wheel
To turn, to burn in one's flaming solitude.
From birth to death, this profession of existence
Making an art of solitude, an act of independance.
It is so easy to die alone.

In truth we strive, achieve and lose as we all die alone, just part of exsistence - 10
Rani, this has moved me to tears. The creative repetition of certain words(I now realize) work so well. The reality of a high flying apartment is not what it is cracked up to be. Excellent! 10 Karin Anderson
Wow. All I can say. Some very original, impacting lines that I loved. Particularly 'It is very hard to be a go in the wheel/It is very hard to be a cog without a wheel.' My solution: don't be a cog. Find the middle ground. Awesome.
