In the world of social affairs,

People often come in pairs

The pressure not to be alone

A struggle I have always known

I’ve tried.. tried the agony of pursuit

It started off great

So much celebration

But nothing prepares you

For the shock of rejection

I got ignored, heartbroken,

My name was never spoken

I thought love would win

If given a chance

But chance I had

My story wound up sad.

My place in the world

where it’s happy to be normal

Instead a lone anomaly

Seen as waste by family

Through my writing stayed

Away from insanity

Stepped away from the edge

Came back from calamity

With age, I knew

Married life is just one view

For my world to revolve upon

By giving up I won

Time to pursue

What, not who

Other passions, other trades

Time with friends instead of dates

There’s always a different path

Don’t dwell on the aftermath

If life alone is how I’ll be

I’ll revel in the writer/artist me.
