Disassociation

Here in the forest I disconnect from society In the depths of nature I feel intrinsic connection Never have I felt at home Or that I belong with them Reminded every moment In contrasting views on everything Never so dull as what is expected Never would I stoop to the level you expect And they can feel that I am alien That I am not like them Incapable of kindness, their reaction is fear I have learned from long decades here To feel at one with the earth is to be alone I am not so different from many Just not like the cattle of the world
