Nothing would leave me alone
no day I would be alone
being in a community close knit
wish to get away from it a bit
none would leave me alone .
I stay from celebrations most
like to be in solitude during these at the most
a crowd seems to take me off from the core
as I wish to enjoy the sea from the shore
I intend to remain alone.
It is the gossip that affects me in all
placid interpretations are not in the call
a twist to the tale be the cause
puts me on hold and in a pause
I withdraw and desire to be alone.
Folks find fault with me for no participation
I smile within myself at their allegations
I had been among them all these four decades
require a break from the usual dressing in brocades
I would prefer living privately on the whole.
