Happy Alone
Be calm at the aggressor
The mason that slowly chip
With a wooden mallet and chisel
At my once unbroken surface
Forget hurtful, sharp, untrue word
Put distance between you
Do not allow them to stick
Black tar to my clean skin
Avoid being dragged into madness
They cannot wallow alone
My company is sought after
To wade in those shallow depths
Choose your companions wisely
To travel through this life
When in moments of sickness
Never a good time to be wanted
Remember to be most true
You are only you when being you
No one should take that angry
Happy alone over unhappy together
