Solitude

I've been warned not to be alone

I don't understand why

It's been explained that it makes one sad

Makes a heart ache and the mind crazy

But how can being with myself do that

The quietness radiating from within

Familiar voices whispering in my head

Awareness of thought and breathe

Infinite possibilities of action

With self.

Alone seems lonely but

Alone means spending time with soul

In the end I am all I have

I came into this world alone I die alone

With acceptance of this truth

I reflect and bask in the happiness of coming to know my being

That which occupies my earthly vessel

So dear friend I say this with kindness

Be alone.

Your soul will be in eternal gratitude Discovering a worthy being

Alive enough to be called friend

Is staring at you in the mirror
