In The Depths of Solitude (dedicated to me)

As you can see, the title of this blog is based somewhat on this poem. For some reason I find that it pretty much sums up what I am about. Who I am. How I feel about things. How I relate to people and the world around me. It goes...

I exist in the depths of solitude
pondering my true goal
Trying to find peace of mind
and still preserve my soul
Constantly yearning to be accepted
and from all receive respect
Never comprising but sometimes risky
and that is my only regret
A young heart with an old soul
How can there be peace
How can I be in the depths of solitude
When there are 2 inside of me
This duo within me causes
The perfect oppurtunity
to learn and live twice as fast
As those who accept simplicity.
