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
