Alone is simply not that bad-
Some of us do thrive…
Within our isolation,
We truly come alive.

Alone means I don’t have to please
A soul except my self-
I can store my social graces-
Safely on a shelf.

Alone and I can skip a shave-
Grooming is for others-
To please their eyes aesthetically-
And our own freedom smothers.

Alone brings conversations
Quite pleasing to my ear-
Since mine is all the voice, my friend
I need or want to hear.

Alone in lovely silence-
Alone in peaceful bliss-
What fool would trade the raucous crowd-
For silence such as this?

Not many can embrace the silence.  For those who can, they at least have the comfort of knowing it never lies.
