Happy Alone
This poem is dedicated to people who are searching for themselves
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.
