Isolation is a Reaper

Worse than temporary
near complete sensation
of emotional isolation

Reappearing
lifelong cycles

Bridges burning down
because I cannot

...conform

I just want
renewal

plenty of tolerance
floating around...


...any crumb left
for me?

PSI also contributes to accelerating the ageing process: Wilson et al. (2007) reported that, after controlling for social network size and frequency of social activity, perceived social isolation is predictive of cognitive decline and risk for Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, the social interactions of individuals who feel socially isolated are more negative and less subjectively
