"If you want to write, write!" he says, simply.
But I need solitude to write.
A pervasive silence in which to hear
The cadence of the words,
Spoken aloud as they are created.
Inflection, tone, rhythm - pause.
Let me pause.
I feel my concentration divided -
Distributed like so many pages of a book.

Solitude

a: the quality or state of being alone or remote from society 
b: a lonely place (as a desert)
