On Being Alone Sometimes                                           


Being alone
Isn’t so bad
Sometimes.
I like it.
Our world,
Full of judgments,
Innuendo,
Labeling,
And lack of compassion
Makes me crazy
Sometimes.
And I pull away.
I can do that
And I like it.
No need now for
Conversation,
Conflict,
Disagreement,
Despair.
All by myself
I reflect,
Reason,
And ponder
What I don’t understand.
Sometimes
Solitude
Need not be sad.
No.
It is a salve.
Seeking a silent space
Soothes
Sometimes
And I like it.
