| Lines 8 & 9 are my favorite. Money has never been the focal point of my life. I usually get rid of it fast as if it is a burden. I need my solitude as well and sometimes don't want to be part of a crowd. Silence has become one of my best friends. I could identify with this completely. |

Short, sweet, to the point, and very well done! I like the last line the best. How true it is.
Great work. |

I suppose the meaning of this poem depends on whether or not the narrator is reliable. I get the sense that he or she is unreliable. I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I would say there is a negative atmosphere here. For one thing, the first two words seem to contribute negative energy, and the act of standing inside portrays the sense of hiding or holding back. The fact that the narrator is attempting to convince him or herself that solitude is beneficial adds to the atmosphere.
I don't know. That's what I got from it. Either way, it's very well-written. |
