It’s Okay To Be Alone.
It’s okay to be alone.
To search for solitude
In the minds home.
I find peace within myself;
Letting my mind wander,
As my body roams about.
You can label me as you want,
Loner.
Introvert.
I merely enjoy my own presence
To that of large groups
And inauthentic experience.
Give me a tree to sit under,
Stars to gaze,
An authentic conversation,
None of those
Can I beat.
But I have found
That being alone
Is not the same
As being lonely.
You see,
Au contraire,
Being alone
Sets me free.
Free to be myself
To understand
And grow
To know
Who I am.
To love myself.
And therefore,
I cannot be lonely.
To be lonely is to be destitute,
Companionless.
But if you know and love yourself,
How could you ever be this?
And if you walk this Earth
Through the forests, amongst the trees,
Beside the wildflowers,
Talking to the bees…
Or dance with the waves
As they kiss the shore,
How could you lack companionship?
How could you want more?
