Being Alone

erin

They say
Some time alone
taught me about myself

But I don’t know why.
I want to grow, learn, change, live.
Be ok.
But how?


Maybe expectations
Holding me back, now free!
Now, I act for me, today
The world still expects,
but I’m not obliged.

Maybe perspectives
More time for friends!
More new perspectives
More new adventures
Thinking alone, on my own.
instead of together
Slower, harder
but entirely
my own

Alone.


Maybe time
Time alone, on my own
Time to think, write, cry!
Time with only my throughts
To work it out
Alone.


Maybe time itself
Days emptier, freer
Sad, bored, even depressed
or NEW!

New time, new hobbies, new cafes
Writing, running, strumming
So much new, to fill time
To grow, to enjoy
