Solo Act
It's what I do best,
doing whatever it is,
alone.
Not having to worry about
interfering with other people.
No one needs to go out of their
way for me.
Yet I seem to have people
ask, "why?".
I ask, "why not?"
Some ask me why do I not
offer others,
invite them to what I do.
The sad truth is,
I do.
I am cancelled on,
blatantly ignored,
given every excuse
imaginable.
Then I end up doing what
I planned to do,
alone.
Why must I create heartache
when none is needed?
Why must I get hopes up
of people wanting to spend
time with me?
Why should I ask people
when all I get is a "No....."?"
Why spend one more second
thinking about the countless
number of rejections I receive?
Maybe this is why I prefer
my solo act.
