Loneliness
Loneliness is often avoided
Like the plague.
We would do anything
Not to be alone.
Even if it means compromising
&
Staying with a fool or a drunken dim wit
Or a useless tool.
And yet when life thrust it upon you,
It’s not so bad.
In the peace and quiet,
You find yourself.
Every piece of you reconnecting,
Giving confidence & love.
Loving yourself,
the greatest love,
that you can give.
For loneliness is a path to you.
Not as scary a one imagined.
