Isolation

My home is my refuge and my prison
No one comes here any more
In or out has no difference
The outside world a rear vision

Here emptiness echoes from these walls
I sit here alone unnoticed
These days I know too well
As every day is exactly the same

Having a disability isolates me
But it’s the company I seek, not pity
On and on each day passes by
Without a living soul in sight

I know it’s best to expect nothing
Then when nothing comes here
There’s not much of a letdown
I’d known it all along
