Most people will always be strangers,
So why not be a lone ranger?
They will never be your own,
Whichever garb they don!
They will always maintain a distance strange,
They will not allow you to come within their range!
They will always be somewhere aloof,
Whatever of your love and affection you offer proof!
They will be like a shadow you futilely chase,
You will never be able to fathom their ways!
So why even try to persuade them to stay,
Let them go their own way
While you go your own
Which is the path of detachment the wise have to us shown!

If a general truth is stated, you can always identify with it as you have. The truth I have stated is part of our larger collective destiny. Take care.

Thank you, Ma’m! Literature in a large measure draws from life itself and mirrors it. So your observation does not surprise me. Literature is about you and me and all of us.
