Poem: Isolated

Isolated against the world I feel like a shipwrecked soul
The sand on my skin like sandpaper rubbing
Breaking me down day in and day out
The warm saltwater bathes my skin
Sun beating down on my head heating my hair like a warm blanket
A crab walking across the sand is my only friend
Its red body hardened by the elements much like me
A home of leaves keeps the rain off of me
Stars are my personal night light
I long for companionship
Despite the fact that I am away from the stresses of daily life
I am missing out on so much
I am isolated and alone
