Alone, Not Lonely
I am alone and I have set boundaries
Like these islands separated by water.
Alone, not lonely, for my heart is at peace,
I'm free and complete in my solitude here.
My existence breathes without the abrasions
Of demands and constraints that burden so.
For a time I gave, losing self in relations,
These drained me so much, that I had to go.
No regrets plague me now, I like the freedom,
For we do not have to fear the word "alone".
Strength and independence, whatever comes-
Is what I found alone, what I now own.
