From childhood\u2019s hour I have not been

As others were\u2014I have not seen

As others saw\u2014I could not bring

My passions from a common spring\u2014

From the same source I have not taken

My sorrow\u2014I could not awaken

My heart to joy at the same tone\u2014

And all I lov\u2019d\u2014I<\/em> lov\u2019d alone\u2014

Then<\/em>\u2014in my childhood\u2014in the dawn

Of a most stormy life\u2014was drawn

From ev\u2019ry depth of good and ill

The mystery which binds me still\u2014

From the torrent, or the fountain\u2014

From the red cliff of the mountain\u2014

From the sun that \u2019round me roll\u2019d

In its autumn tint of gold\u2014

From the lightning in the sky

As it pass\u2019d me flying by\u2014

From the thunder, and the storm\u2014

And the cloud that took the form

(When the rest of Heaven was blue)

Of a demon in my view <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alone by Edgar Alan Poe

Edgar Allen Poe understood Isolation. He dealt with sickness as a child and couldn’t participate with his peers. I guess its true, when its difficult to interact with others, it forces one to look inward and become introspective. I’ve noticed that in my life too. But I think Poe knew the value of writing as therapy Writing helps me get my negative thoughts outside of myself to see if they’re valid or not? I wonder if Poe felt the same way?
