Being Alone

8 Years Ago

[ edit ]Being Alone
Alone is where I like to be;
there are so many reasons.
Come journey with me inside my mind,
and the truth you shall know.
Inside my psyche you will find,
an indiscriminate world within.
Never judging, that is just not my style,
I'm forever transfixed within.
Avoiding all of the physical features,
I see the world as I want;
Spiritual and forgiving;
both of myself and of others.
This is where I go to escape;
to be safe;
to prejudicially feel my own thoughts;
to laugh and cry as I see fit;
to remember and to forget.
Alone,
there is no sense of time;
nor right or wrong.
Alone,
my feelings and actions
do not need to be validated.
Alone,
I make my decisions;
be them right or wrong.
Alone,
there are no good-byes;
every memory is stored.
Alone,
there is no penalty for not
conforming to societal rules.
It's when I'm alone
I'm at my best,
I need not give you reasons.
And when I'm alone;
I think about all that is
true and untrue;
they are my own rules.
I love to be alone;
delving deep within my own mind.
it's here that I'm a genius;
here I am the best mother;
here I am the best friend;
here I am one of God's
special children.
Being alone;
does not mean that
you are lonely.
Being alone;
I have control over
things that I am capable.
And if not;
I am not ridiculed;
I am not persecuted;
I made to feel like a leper.
Being alone takes courage;
of not going too far below the grid;
of being content with oneself;
of always handling the truth;
and never giving up
to what everyone thinks
is best.
When I'm alone;
I think about God;
and all his majesty;
in all the lessons he has taught.
When I'm alone;
there shouldn't be a cause for concern;
for it is here that I am always safe.
