Sometimes


Sometimes I like to hide
Be shut away from the world
Be forgotten

Sometimes I need it to survive
To keep myself together
To breathe

Sometimes it's okay to be alone
To search your soul and find yourself
To learn

Sometimes you need your space
Run free from the day to day norm
To escape

Loneliness can be a virtue if you wish it
It's okay to be by yourself
Because no one is closer to you than you
Love thy self

A short poem about loneliness. Over the past, I'll say decade, I've found myself in this scenario more often than not, and I've gotten so used to it that. I prefer it to being around people. Although these past couple of years have actually started to change all that. I'm going out more, taking more risks, and being more open towards people. However, I know that if it all comes crashing down around me, I'll still have myself, and in the end, that's all a person really needs in order to bounce back.

That's just how I feel, anyways. Thanks for reading. <3
