Is loneliness good or bad?

I woke up this morning wondering if loneliness is good or bad. like things come with a goddam label. As if the existencial crisis could be measured.

solitude licks your bones like a stray dog, bites you do´nt pet it, saves you if you understand it.

I´ve seen friends drink themselves to vomiting because of loneliness, because they couldn´t stand one night alone, I´ve seen women cry because they couldn´t bear their own voice.

but l´ve also seen guys in filthy apartments smoking their last cigarette and smiling like hell was a private club and they had a lifetime membership.

solitude isn´t good or bad it just is. like cancer, like cheap beer, like the sad women at 4.A.M.

It´s the mirror where you see the monster, and angel you forgot you had.

so next time solitude hurts, kiss it on the mouth, buy it a drink, and tell it tonight you´re gonna dance with it until your goddamn feet bleed.
