    People like us alwaus feel a stranger in out own skin, Nana. It is because we are more sensitive than most.

    Ha ha, pretty, outgoing Nana..I cannot see you as a hermit....

    Everyday is winter, and outside
    my door,
    they are all hiding from cold.

    ^^^
    I know about this cold, and how it feels.

    Thus I lay beside a turned off
    chimney;
    a strange hermit.

    ^^
    did you mean to say chimney, or heater/ fire place?

    Sad, this poem, but I do understand very well what you are saying.

    *hugs*

    The opening stanza seemed like an actual quote, really powerful and thought provoking.

    I really liked the emphasis on the metaphor here, you really carried it out nicely. Loved how you said winter was your contrary, meaning you aren't meant to be sad & lonely perhaps.

    A nice personification here of you feel as though you are becoming a 'hermit' Such a sad lonely feeling, but you expressed it wonderfully!

    and a time to every purpose

    I especially liked:
    " perchance I
    seek less habits.."

    good.
